Nice Job on the primer man ! looks good !

Thanks John! Same here on the flat-bar anvil. That looked way easier than putting a punch in a vise and trying to balance that all.

Block with 150, and you'll be shocked at the lumps and bumps that show up. I'd also recommend the 3M Rub on guide coat. Kind of a powder that goes on with a pad, and doesnt clog your paper and really shows stuff well. A little expensive but worth it!

Thanks for the tips Elco! That corner is sooo flat I'll need another bit of filler first! Can't believe I couldn't see that before the primer. So you think 150 is fine enough to lay basecoat on? May also need a little advice on polishing. I shot my vent window frames with that same black and got the same orange-peel results I'm going to pick up some reducer today, sand them flat again and see what happens. If I can't get it to lay flat out of the gun, how would I go about sanding them flat and bringing them back? It's a reduced gloss, or satin finish.
