If you compare factory sheetmetal it is really smooth and fine. So wouldn't it be a good idea to sand it down with something like 400 paper before you spray on the first coat of primer?

If you see whirltracks it usually from the filler not being final sanded correctly! Pete correct me if im wrong!
