I quit using stains a few years ago because they aren't colorfast enough. I airbrush acrylics, which are more colorfast, and I can easily control the spray/color coverage.
I use Acrlic airbrush paints more often than I use Spirit Stains. Having said that and depending on the type of base your working on all paints have their place. I must admit I've never had a problem with Stains holding their colour. Thanks for your comment.
If you sealed the wood first it would prevent the stain from soaking in, which is something you don't want. If it was Acrylic Airbrush paint you could seal the wood first if you wished as Acrylic sits on the surface. Thanks for the questions.
Perfect for what I want thank you I'll be dyeing some laminates

Hi I usually sand down to 240 grit, and the psi is around 20. Hope that helps.
Sorry, another Question. do you use sealer before the stain, particularly with open grain wood?
