primer problem

ok well i've got my first bodies all sealed up and ready to go. i used a kilz primer from a quart. brushed it on with foam brushes.....didn't like the way it came out way too thick in my opinion. they definitely did not look like the ones Mike shot up in his shop. so i sanded it and started over.... then i used a rattle can of Kilz primer, that was very thick as well, i tried to smooth it out with a foam brush, yuk...so i sanded and started over. a few questions

does sanding effect the integrity of the sealer?
and does the plug need to be primed 100%?
and should i quit,
if i can't get the primer right i can imagine when it comes time to actually painting

anybody painting in the near future that wouldn't mind someone standing beside them, jotting down some pointers? i'll help with the clean-up
