That's the problem with not spraying primers, none are designed to flow out. They roll on so rough that you end up sanding it all back off to get it smooth.
I've had good luck with finish priming with under-thinned top coat. It goes on smooth, takes little sanding so you still have a solid color base.


My experience exactly in using 2000 to do my Minto dinghy. Many hours of recreational sanding.
