[QUOTE="crjackson, post: 16375667, member: 197502"] Okay, so today I spent some time scuffing up the entire surface to be painted (except the inside holes of the honeycomb). I washed it with liquid detergent and hot water. Rinsed thoroughly and dried with compressed air. Next I cleaned all surfaces to be painted using IPA, and let that air dry. Then I sprayed 3 coats of adhesion promoter with 3 minutes between coats. I then applied 3 coats of primer with a flex agent, with 10 minutes between coats. Here comes the question.... I "THOUGHT" the primer was a "High Fill" type meant for sanding. I couldn't read the can (small print) when I purchased it at AZ. They guy told me it was, but I used a magnifying glass when I got home, and it doesn't mention anything about "Hight Fill" or sanding. Question: Should I sand it anyway after it completely dried (if yes, what grit), or should I leave it alone. The finish on it looks like a Glossy White right now. [/QUOTE]
