I am going to prime it, sand it with 180, prime it again, then paint with a lifetime latex. Or at least that was my plan....

Prepping the wood for painting.
1) sand it
2) use a sanding sealer
3) re-sand with a fine grit paper
4) prime
5) sand again
6) prime again
7) sand again with an even finer paper
8) paint
Primer will raise the grain of the wood this is why a sealing coat is needed when painting. The type of wood is a big factor here pines are the worst as they are in the soft wood class.

you need to use a variable sander like this:
http://portercable.cpoworkshop.com/sanders/variable-speed_random-orbit_sanders/97366.html one
if you purchase this sander you'll be amazed the rpm is way to high on them other sanders and its generating to much heat after your done sanding ,then use a oil based primer like cover stain, then i would go to sherwin williams and pick up a can of pro mar 200 oil based paint then buy a quart of japan drier it will make it dry in a hour or 2 verses 12 hours i would not recommend a latex paint due to the fact that there will be water spilled and dripped and rubbed and its just not that durable and will peel after awile oil base is how we do all our cabinets that we refinish good luck Eddy long time no see...hehe aloha scotty

just like doing car parts start w/ a low grit paper first and work your way to a finer grit...worked for mine....
I also used some discs that (I think) were for body work...real soft cheese grater type discs but they took paint off some old wood chest and a Singer sewing machine I refurbed for my mom......the discs were soft enough to just bend when you pressed hard and not eat into the wood......
