    Two coats of primer. There's a spot on the front where the grain seems to have stood up a bit. I guess just careful sanding there will sort that.

    Totally normal spraying wood. It's actually good as the paint will 'wick' into the wood and create a good bond. Just sand it back and continue.

    I actually think primer/undercoat is a bit unnecessary on wood, apart from helping to fill the grain a bit. The main reason to use a primer/undercoat system is to get the top coats to stick, usually to metal or plastic. Because wood is so porous the paint really soaks in, so I don't really see the point. I've previously done just straight automotive clear on wood and it's fine. You just need to gradually build up the paint thickness so you can sand it back and polish.
