Wouldn't it be easier to wash the primer off with lacquer thinner, then sand?

A messy job, but fairly easy from what one painter friend tells me.
C9,
Several reasons -
I would probably still have to wear my supplied air hood as I am sensitized to many solvents and secondly, the crap that Brookville uses comes off extremely easily with my 17" llongboard and 80 grit paper. The primer varies a lot in thickness - my guess, .002 to .010. I did the flat area of one door to bare metal in about 5 minutes last night (doors are off and on a table). It leaves a nice finish for epoxy plus shows high and low areas - I have low areas, hinge side on both doors - the as-received hinges were bound up, flexing the door skins(bushings and new pins fixed that problem)

Thinner is fine for a single panel, but the mess plus the much added expense of even cheap lacquer thinner at ~$10/gallon, a bale of rags and the problem of disposing a hazardous waste and safety. I did try one trunk floor panel and it made a major mess with several rags and slop.

C9, I think you have an unassembled Brookville as well, based on earlier posts - check the primer out.
