DIY user got professional results
I am quite pleased with this basecoat product despite struggles with read through. My fault came from sanding through sealer coat to expose absorbant primer underneath. I repeated the basecoat to get consistent color. The gallon I got with the "kit" was not near enough to accommodate my redos and spillage. Ended up needing 1.5 gallons altogether risking a good color match. I bought a second gallon for reserve in case of future need. (Cost of 2 qts is as much as another gallon.) They do not supply enough of any of the materials in the "kit" as far as I experienced. Buy more up front and save shipping.
