Doc think you will need to try and grain fill those grain pores once it's sanded. The paint will never fill those in. Next time you spray paint try and practice your application, going left to right, right to left, then up and down, it's like mowing the lawn try and have a tiny overlap over the last row/column you painted. Move in a steady speed and hold the nozzle 90 degrees to the surface.
With practice you will know when to stop before the paint runs.
It may also be helpful to watch a pro painter on Youtube should give you some good tips

I'll have to agree with you on that mate, I think I'll just go ahead and sand it back to bare wood, then apply some Maple Timbermate to the body surface, the routes can stay the way they are cause they'll be covered-up anyway, at least I know that the Rust-Oleum Grey Primer is actually going to work with no major issues.


I guess it serves myself right for being a little impatient, at least no major harm was done anyway.
