Is it necessary to tip off undercoats or can they just be applied by roller and then a final light sand before the topcoats?

I am preparing to paint a ply/dynel Spencer 44 using international Brightside.

I've used Brightside on steel superstructure but never on GRP or timber. On the steel, we brush the coats on with no tipping. No rollers (never get 'em in around everything). We normally put on 2 coats and don't bother with undercoat. It comes up nice and flat - no brush marks. You could no doubt get a bit better result via roller or spray but it's pretty good as we apply it.
