very, very good points. Keep in mind, that prior to applying the panel lines, your surface should be "paint ready", meaning all grain/seems are filled and ready to receive color coats. The "panel primer" is just that - an illusion that represents one solid panel meeting another solid panel. It is totally unecessary to fill in with primer between the chart pak tape. Primer is pretty heavy stuff and as such, most should be sanded off leaving a smooth, level surface. Myself, I prefer polyester primers that are catalyst based as they are EXTREMELY high fill and dont require as much as some of the other primers out there. Of course, spraying equipment is necessary, but if you stay in this hobby, an inexpensive 2 hp compressor and small spray gun and air brush are a must. good luck on your project!!!
