    yeah, gonna let it sit over night. I was told to sand the paint, im just afraid of going down to the primer....
    what # of sand paper should I use to sand the paint? This is the first time I do something like this by the way (if you hadnt noticed)

    Gonna do the plastic arount the radio tomorrow. I sprayed the first 2 coats of primer after the adhesion promoter, then sanded it down smooth and re primed it. Ill continue to sand/prime tomorrow as well. I really wanna see how that first piece is gonna come out.

    ok, ill use 1000.... what if it hits the primer?
    what am i looking for when I sand the paint itself? same amount of smoothness as when I sanded the primer?
