I spoke to Jon Goldenbaum at length about Smooth Prime last year at Oshkosh.  
Jon is the fellow that wrote the book (literally) on the Poly-Fiber Flight 
Gloss system.  They had recently come out with a new product called 
"Pre-Prime Sealer" which is intended to close out the bottom of the pinholes, 
so that the Smooth Prime doesn't continue to sink in and reform shallow 
indentations (pinholes).  I can only assume that the Pre-Prime Sealer was 
developed to fix the problems of "continued shrinkage".

Caveat:  I have not used the stuff yet, though I intend to.  I'm going to 
prime as I go, giving lots of time for any shrinkage to occur before I 
color-paint.  I may actually only do the priming myself and let a pro do the 
topcoat, which will probably require a faster curing paint.  Goldenbaum said 
that would work, though if I didn't use a Poly-Fiber color coat an additional 
primer coat would be needed (no additonal body-work-style sanding, though, 
since that would have already been done).
