i think it’s pretty soft, because like i said, when xshub tried to peel the paint after leaving the stuff on, he gouged a bit and he wasn’t pressing hard at all. so i’m thinking light sanding, so it will still look white but i can see the grain through it? is that light enough? should i use a primer just to be safe, after sanding?
If you can see the grain and the finish is smooth, a primer would be necessary for the top coat to adhere properly.
You could use a paint and primer one coat type paint like Rustoleum or any other national brand......
