    what sand the primer off again lol?
  16. #16
    ill rub over it a bit with 1200 and see what affect that has den paint it yeah?

    You can see it's still not smooth at the 9 and 11 o'clock spokes, near the edges.

    1200 is too fine a paper to be using at the moment, you wanna be using 100-200 grit to cut it right back initially then prime & sand it with 400-800 grit till it's smooth.

    My colleague wrote this guide, have a read over it and it should help you:
