Default "Best" primer for painted cabinetry...

I'm curious about how folks paint their woodwork. Not a rub through
finish, but a nice smooth coat of pigmented lacquer or paint. I've
always thought that you'd prime and scuff until you had a flawless
surface, and then lay down one, maybe two real nice coats of paint.


Right. You need to start with a smooth, flat, flawless surface because the
paint will shrink and conform to whatever surface it calls home. All you
gotta do is avoid brush marks in the top coats.

I like Zinsser primer too but 1-2-3. It sands fairly well, better if wet
sander. If you can find a sanding surfacer, use it.
