Well I'm pleased if it helps to hear a bit of encouragement. Brushing kitchen doors is not that easy, a lot of experienced decorators struggle especially with acrylic paints.
123 catches a lot of people out because it's so thin. I usually use 123, then an undercoat (which will generally have more opacity and body) matching the top coat followed by 2x top coat.

Emboldened by your comments, I had another go with just the Bullseye after a vigorous wet sanding. It held up a bit better, and two coats did the job. It’s certainly a relief to be able to avoid the Bin, so thanks for that. It will save me a few hours overall.
I have been taking the doors off and working flat but have been using a brush rather than a roller. The cabinets are cheap ones from B&Q in some kind of hideous wood effect. The new paint job is preventing us from ordering a skip for them. I’ll post a photo of progress when there’s some natural light in the room.
