yeah guys the wall sure doesn't need any smoothing out no hi build primer is not a worry. will sand between coats (after primer and between first and second finish coats) tho.

usually PPG 6-2, but you think PVA primer on this one?

Agree a microfiber 3/8 will leave a mirror like finish if applied right.I just got through with skimming a level 5 finish in a home and it looked like a house of mirrors using the microfiber.

also i bought a couple of the wooster micro plush 7/16" rollers, will try them with pva primer and 2 coats enamel and see how it looks this weekend

any pics of the microfiber roll final product?

No sorry no pics but I think you will be well pleased. You sound like me when l have a perfectly smooth finish of a skimcoat I want to keep that look throughout the painting process as well.I can't stand a lot of stipple! The smoother the look the better.On smooth walls your roller should glide with pride! :yes:

If permitted I like using Gardz sealer as my prime coat cause it levels out nicely and hardens up soft compounds. Provides excellent base!

USG Tuffhide sprays on, no backroll. It is applied 15 to 20 mil thick.

What is your finish coat going to be? Different paints would mean different nap recommendations.

What type of finish?

Flat/Matte finish? Hope, because everything else shows imperfections.:jester:

Not just sheen but actual brand -line of paint.
