Primed, grain raised up, needed lots of sanding. Brushed the primer on for the first coat.



Sanded with 80 grit on a 6" DA sander.



Reprimed but sprayed it this time, lightly sanded with 180 grit on the DA, just enough to remove the orange peel from the primer, not smoothing any of the wood's grain though.



Painted, two coats of Ben Moore's Low Gloss Exterior Latex/Enamel thinned with Floetrol.









Here's a pic from an assembly line showing the painted wood floor, with a little gloss showing

that looks nice
