I'm working on my 1979 MM and I'm doing most of the body work myself, and I'm probably going to paint it myself as well. (or get the help of a body shop friend to do it for me, he's been advising me so far.)
Anyway, I'm planning to paint it white, because I was told it shows flaws less. My question is, how "smooth" and perfect does my body work need to be in order to not see "flaws". It seems that I'm working against an unpenetrable wall, where no matter how much I sand and fill.. there's pin holes or a certain amount of "non smoothness". Its smooth to the touch, but if I shoot it with primer.. you can see it.. even if its just faint.
My question is, how smooth is smooth? Like at what point do I say, ok.. now I can prime it.
