So, I'm 5 coats into the color layer, and I can still see the grain in the wood. I used a filler primer, 4 coats, and sanded it to 2000 grit. It was like glass, and I was sure I had the grain filled.

The paint I am using is an automotive paint, because it was the only way I could get the exact color I wanted. However, it's much thinner than any other spray paint I have ever used. I'm used to a hobby style enamel that will cover wood grain in a coat or two. Can anyone offer any help? Do I continue building up coats? Will the grain disappear afte the clear goes on and I wet sand it?
