  • 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...
