Bit of an update.

Finally funished flatting the body and got it all ready for respray in the morning.

I brought some of it home with me today to get flatted back.
I have two replacement window fraims as mine were a little bent. I will have to paint all 4 as the straight ones might not fit the car.

Wet sanding primer? Why are you doing this to yourself? Block sand with a dry 320, then use an electric sander with either 320 or 400 and finish again electric sander 500 or 800 wet.

Nothing Wrong with wet sanding primer. He is using a block thats all that matters. Plus less dust.

It's time consuming to begin with, tiresome and in a professional environment very unproductive method.
 
Couldn't find my rubber block so had to use this. The body shop I do some work for just use p600 wet/dry.
