I bought a tin of this in a white tint on advice from a retailer:

The tint is so light on untreated timber that you can barely see it and I wanted a slightly translucent white finish along the lines of this:

I know this is probably a real no-no but just in case... what terrors would I unleash if I used a watered-down white paint as an 'undercoat' and put the Fiddes over the top of it? It's expensive stuff, so I don't really want to waste it but realise me placing one entirely different product over paint may have competent DIYers throwing their hands up!
