I hope you guys can remember my previous post about rough paint finish. So I experimented a bit with gloss black instead of flat black. I further thinned the paint and it's super watery now. But the finish is just slightly better.

Meaning, it's not as rough but still quite rough. For a gloss black, it's considered very rough.

So I'm thinking, what's the problem here? Took me a while to think about it and I remember touching the primed parts and the roughness is similar.

Correct me if I'm wrong but does primer with extra rough finish affect the outcome of the actual paint coat? Like if the primer is smoother, will my actual paint coat be smoother too?

I'm using the ACE gray primer spray can recommended by Avocado

It was... not very far/close....about 1 samsung note of distance? (sorry, can't really think of another way of telling the distance)

It's possible that I may have sprayed a bit too close.. since I think it was windy that day.........

I've since asked around and I was told to sand my primed surface as well. So since you recommended me to do this as well, is it safe to say that primer's surface finish affects the final paint coat? Like if the primer itself gives a very rough finish, the paint will came out very rough as well?

I asked because this is my 2nd kit painted kit and the first kit had similar finish albeit different color but same primer. Also, if the primer is rough, paint finish is rough, will the top coat be rough as well? As in, spotty finish...?
