Well it sure looks like everyone will be happy with it!

( I ) feel the primer stuff is soft... and possibly not needed.

We just did one, similar. And it looked just as bad after the first coat.
And the room was NEEDED, so we did NOT get the chance to re-coat.

I use HVLP now... no more rollers.

Complaint is gonna be that it is WAY slippy when wet.
If I had found this thread sooner I would have advised SharkGrip in the topcoat. You'll see...

Sharkgrip is awesome- used out here even on driveways. Still looks shiny, but no slipping...

The solid stain I used was a flat, and it isn't slick all all. Very surprised with the product.....I didn't expect much, and turned out I was pleased with it.

This site is a hoot. I'm new to the site. My business is evolving, out of my truck into a few more. It's seems hard to me..I know what I can do but getting my help in line.....there's the rub. Since I'm way too busy to actually meet other contractors during the day....this is intriguing.
