Thx John. Oil based enamel varnish over water-based paint and primer is
okay? I think the other way around is not. -wen

this interesting note:

Prime is unlikely to hide grain if the doors were poorly sanded in the
first
place. Undercoat is a possibility, after priming. It tends to even out
the
surface a small amount.

I'm confused. What do you use as the undercoat - paint or primer?

Sand, clean, prime, sand, clean, prime, sand, clean, prime, sand,
clean, enamel, sand, clean, enamel, sand, extra clean, finish coat of
enamel. Do this correctly and with oil based enamel and you end up
with a super clean and smooth finish that is very tough and durable.
Done this way you can even polish out minor scratches. If you use
latex enamel then polishing and scrubbing is out of the question.
