A lot of colors required special primers (red and grey) but the red paint took the most coats to cover well. Yes - 6 :(

Wow. Well, it does seem to get a little better each time. I will go back over later today and see how it's doing. I think it may be OK if there are still some faintly visible roller lines, as long as the color seems even. Yes, I made sure to use a red primer. Six coats of paint! Wow.

I'm starting to like white a lot more :) Colored paints can be very difficult to paint and get a nice deep color even with color primers (god forbid you used a white primer)
