    you dry block it all the filler to 120 grit or180 use a guild coat over the body filler. use a spray can of black paint very light coat and block this off with a sanding block with dry180 or 120 this will tell the hi and low spots and 36 -80 grit scratches if you can not sand the filler down it may need more . when you get of this point you may want to use a self ech primer and then a filler primer. i will try to make this short .you should try to fix all dent grinding marks etc be for you prime. any thing you try to bury with the primer may come up in the finsh. the more you guild coat it and block the better it may be if it the body work is good . put down 3 coats of filler primer let it set up good .spray a guild coat and block all black off wet sand with 180 on a block try not to cut in the filler or the steel dry off if you cut thru. re prime two coats if not re guild coat .sand with 220 wet sand paper now at this time if you did not cut thru you are about to. dry off good and use wax and grease re prime two coats now sand with 320 re guid coat wet and use a not to hard sanding pad or a thick paint stick and then go to 400 wet with a soft pad and you can go up to 600 wet . you may need to spot prime if you break thru so try not to over sand it takes many years to do a good paint job and when you get good at it your arms fall off from all the sanding
