Response to Using the same brand of paint thru the whole process?

Generally I do. There are a couple of Rustoleums that I like to use for top coats over the texture.

I have run into trouble a few times trying to use the texture over Krylon Fusion such as when painting the Crosman grip panels or texturizing a custom PVC part. But if you make sure the Krylon is good and dry (several days) and put the texture on a little at a time allowing to dry before adding more it will work out OK.
If you get runs in the texture paint just let it dry, sand out the run a bit and apply another light coat or two of the texture to blend in.
It really hides minor imperfections in the woodwork. Nothing hides really bad woodwork though! lol

Also, the farther away from the surface you get the grittier the texture.
They also have a single color (non-multicolor?) texture spray paint too. It works well for simulated synthetic looking wood too. It's not as coarse as the multi-color.

I plink, therefore I am.
