Well, the primer (Penguard HB) went on OK, but was hard work, as it's pretty thick.  Only bad points were that it seems to eat foam rollers faster than I think that Perfection did, and being a bit thick it doesn't fill pinholes in filler (of which, it has to be said, there are a lot on the DP - being a cheapskate and short of time I didn't use a coat of UV Smooth Prime first........).

So far the finish is more warship than show boat, but at least it's not bloody pink any more!

Brian, I found applying Perfection pretty easy, but I was working inside in cool weather.  The secret was to apply a light roller coat and NOT even attempt to go back over it.  As it cured it sort of magically pulled a smooth and very shiny surface, from what had looked to be a bit rough at first.

Having gone through four Screwfix foam rollers this morning I'm going to order some of the solvent resistant ones that SML sell, in the hope that I'll get a better finish with those.
