Never had a problem with Steve's nitro cans, well worth the extra cost.
I did do one a few years later, but it was literally two light coats directly onto the wood for a sunken grain finish. That coped better, but I wouldn't try to get a gloss finish on wood again.
also, they always had a round nozzle pattern rather than a fan, which leads to a much higher chance of getting runs.
What paints are you using? The big question here is compatibility.
