I made a sort of medicine cabinet to hang on a wall. There's nothing stained in the room (except the carpet) so I painted it white. My first coat is water-based Kilz, applied with a good quality, nylon brush. It doesn't look so good because the brush strokes are clearly visible. It certainly has enough primer on it. Does Kilz primer on bare wood generally require two coats? If so, do I sand after the first coat? If so, what grit sandpaper? The final coat will be Rustoleum enamel spray (gloss white).
Another thought I had is whether the primer should have been thinned a little. It goes on very thick. I believe my future paint-over-bare-wood projects need to be sprayed.
