[QUOTE="PV Audio, post: 4559270, member: 554493"] The way to a seamless finish is to overlap with filler on all joints. Sand it down smooth with 150 then 220 grit. If you can feel ANYTHING, and I mean even if you think you can feel it, it'll show. Seal with thin coats of resin. Sand that down with 220, then 320. Primer using either auto primer, or a quick dry primer like Rust-oleum professional primer. Do not sand the primer (if it's that bumpy, you ****ed something up), rather wetsand it with either 800 or 1000 grit. 800 if you plan on putting down another coat of primer, 1000 if you want to get into the top coat immediately. Spray your top coat, about 6 coats per side. At this point, it should look pretty ****in good, almost like a car. To get it better, wetsand the top coat with something like 1500 or 2000 grit. Then, it'll actually look like a mirror when you top it again because there's no orange peel left. Polish it up with a good polish (menzerna fine cut with a white pad works well for the detailing crew, turtle wax polishing compound works for everyone else). Top it with a good carnauba if for home audio, or a synthetic sealant for car audio. [/QUOTE]
