If it's smooth then avoid sanding and use the deglosser, sugar soap is a good start with degreasing but the deglosser kind of etches the surface for the primer.
Sand between coats very lightly. I use a 320 or similar grit soft sanding pad. There are some foam backed sanding pads which come on a roll that are well worth having. They are popular in the auto paint world.
It’s a cupboard in a bedroom (well 4 full height floor to ceiling) - I had planned to lightly sand, zin-123, sand, undercoat, sand, roll using microfibre roller. Been cleaned with sugar soap already. Am I going to be ok?
Btw we got the guy in to do the front room and he did a great job so have asked to do landing and hallway too - getting to know him first was a good idea (and he did a nice job repainting the ceiling). Only problem is now we want him to do kitchen and bathroom too! 😄
