Had a go at spraying the engine centre strip yesterday, found out the hard way that I had not smoothed it enough, the primer showed up every rough part that I had missed (though it does make it easier to see that I have smoothed it enough this time, just killing me fingers as the sand paper gets a lot of friction, and also using up loads as the primer sticks all over the sandpaper. Is there a thicker primer I could get that would fill all the small cracks/rough parts that i have missed?
alexperkins:
Filler primer and a lighter grade of paper is advisable

would that stuff be any use? I have up to 600grit wet and dry sand paper, think that is fine enough?
alexperkins:
That looks ok.
Halfords do sell a UPOL one which is quite good
Get 1200 grit - 600 is a bit course
