What are high quality products I can use so there is no grain showing? How do I use the products?

Use a good primer. Apply several coats and sand in between each coat with 600 grit or better sandpaper. Make sure the primer, paint and clear coat are compatible with each other.

Lowes and home depot sell this primer called zinsser it seals the wood very well.I spray one coat sand with 600 grit and then paint.You can also take wood putty spread it lightly then smooth it with water let it dry sand with 600 grit prime and then paint.Hope this helps.

I use automotive glazing putty; not as brittle as wood putty after it dries and sands smoother. Available in any auto parts store or Walmart.

I use Minwax Polyurethane in a spray can just apply 2 coats as directed on can, lightly sand and then prime, wet sand, Paint and Clearcoat then wet sand and polish for a perfect finish. the Polyurethane acts as a sealer so the primer wont soak in to the wood. Hope that helps

I also use the Polyurethane method on my painted cars and it works very well. Lately I've be going the decal route on my league cars as it is a quicker process and after a light sanding, see Spacewalker's video on decal prep, and polish the caes come out silky smooth. Just my two cents.
