I need some advice please.
We've just finished making a new front door and primed it with Zinsser Bin 123 primer. I've used this for years with great success on new wood. However, I realise that I have then always over coated this with white undercoat and topcoat.
The thing with the door is I've now undercoated it in red to be finished with a red top coat. The first red undercoat applied some colour but the white primer was showing through (is that called "grinning"?). I have given it a light sand and applied a second coat of undercoat. It's a lot better but I can still see the white primer underneath.
My question is, should I continue with undercoat to get rid of the white showing through, or would the red gloss topcoat be better?
I am using Johnstones acrylic undercoat & topcoat.
Cheers
