Just to let you know, the whole point of primer is that it's a base coat to which the paint can stick. You don't have to sand it down before applying the paint.

Looks good though.

I was painting a boat today aswell! Grin

Actually, you do have to sand it down.  When applied, you can feel the grain in it, and it's very rough.  After a few minutes of sanding, it's smooth as glass and the paint still sticks.  Go tell an auto body man you don't need to sand it and see what he says.. Wink

Cars and boats are very different. To be totally honest most paints are sprayed on these days and so there is no grain to it. Smiley
