Re: Painting wood (crafts)
I painted a few wood items for name plaques & such without primer - they turned out fine. I was toying with the idea of doing a doll house - that I would have primed.

I didn't prime my wood letters. I did have to do 2 coats of the base color though. The first coat soaked right into the wood.

What paint did you use?
