water the paint down for one of the coats to get it in the grain easier
Would something like a base coat in mdf primer, then sand back make life easier?
Sort of like the equivalent of a high build primer for bodywork.

Yeah, possibly, I forget which primer I used but pretty sure it was the correct, I think the issue is the grain is deep and it would require quite a few coats of primer before flat, especially since the primer is thinner than the top coat.
Maybe I am just doing it wrong!
Oh and thanks! Wanted to keep it quite simple and consistent as victorian style stuff feels a bit pastiche in lofts IMO (although have seen plenty that work). The thing that really stresses me are 4 panel doors with the corners cut off, so pleased we didn't end up with one of them...

I mentioned it before but Valspar is life now.
Also painting ply doors is shitty (I think the trick is to water the paint down for one of the coats to get it in the grain easier)
