Dodgy decorators will often tell a customer they are going to prime , undercoat and top coat ......gloss or satinwood........but then just slap on a single coat ......it looks OK for a while but doesn't last
Been using Crown trade quick dry fast flow for years like most decent decorators, on bare wood I’d use an undercoat and two top coats….stays fine for years….
