thank you! I remember you mentioning the white gloss aspect a while back, but couldn't convince my other half to go with white in the end.
I used the Bulls Eye 123 plus, found it went on without any issues on the PVC, though with roller I was getting very thin coats each time - but much more consistent than using a brush.
Ended up slathering the top coats on with a brush to get a decent build up of paint, and then rolling over to get the streaks out, seemed to work alright in the end.

That tends to be the approach when you lack experience!
123 is a very thin primer/undercoat. It's designed to grip the substrate and provide good grip for the next coat. It's a bit pointless using 2 coats because there are more opaque undercoats available which cover and level better.
AllCoat seems particularly transparent when it's wet. Usually after a couple of days it's a lot more opaque. There's not a high solid content because it's designed to dry quickly so loading it on the surface doesn't work that well. Easier to do 3 quick coats than fanny around laying on thick ones. I don't usually need 3 coats with the white gloss though.

It looks great.
I have had some issues with tinted AllCoat. I try to avoid colours on exterior woodwork anyway because any tinted will have a shorter lifespan than gloss white.
