Is there a primer I could use on wood that would allow me to paint wood with automotive paint?

I want to paint some things that are made out of wood with automotive paint, but the wood is to poris and so the paint looks horrible. I just want to know if there is a primer that I could use that would allow me to spray automotive paint over the top of it so that the paint does not just suck down into the grain of the wood. Any information would be great.Is there a primer I could use on wood that would allow me to paint wood with automotive paint?
Yep, but you probably won't like the answer.





The first word is ';preparation';. Wood surfaces must be sanded glass smooth. This means you start with 100 grit, then work up to 140, 180, 220, and 400. Then you take a =barely= damp cloth, wipe the wood down, allow it to dry completely and sand again with 220 and 400.





It is important to note here that paint does NOT fill scratches that you can see or feel.





The next word is ';choice';. You'll need to choose a good sandable primer- this can be regular automotive primer sealer sprayed on. At least 4 good coats, allow to dry at least 24 hours. At this point runs and drips are not too horrible.





Sand until smooth with 400 grit and apply acrylic lacquer. If you are using spray cans, Duplicolor is a brand of acrylic lacquer... do NOT use automotive enamel. If it is a base coat (like reflective silver) you just need to apply enough for full coverage. 2 coats is usually plenty. Wait at least 24 hours again.





Next, DO NOT SAND, but apply the color coats (again, just enough for full coverage) AND at least 12 to 15 coats of clear. Give 5 to 10 minutes between clear coats to allow it to set up. Allow to dry AT LEAST a week.





Then, using wet sandpaper and a sanding block on flat surfaces, level the surface with 600 grit (be careful not to sand through the clear), then wet sand with 800 grit, then wet sand with 1000 grit. Make sure to wipe off the ';slurry'; that builds up from sanding as you go through the grits.





Then, get some Maguires X-100 cleaner and swirl remover and follow the directions on the tube.





After all this time and work you'll end up with a near-flawless finish.Is there a primer I could use on wood that would allow me to paint wood with automotive paint?
