Lisa,

Thanks for stopping by and asking a great question. This is the way I do 99% of all of my projects. I make a paste of the plaster of paris and water, add that to the very same paint I plan to use to finish off my project. I use that for the primer, then use the paint just as it comes out of the can for a topcoat.
It’s the lazy way of quickly finishing a project with very little prep. (generally) Think about red paint for a project. Use the RED paint (with plaster of paris) for primer, then the RED paint for the topcoat. voila! done in record time–unless you screw it up like I did with this project. 🙂

Oh, how I love that Kreg Jig-when I use my brain. Happy to know I’m not the only one.

Have fun with your projects!
