Well, I sanded the primer and re-applied and re-sanded until I could no longer see or feel any bumps or grooves. Then I sprayed on a couple of coats of ivory gloss. I'm mostly happy with the finish, but I have one drip that will need to be sanded out and on one side, I have a kind of pebbly texture (really small pebbles that cover about a two inch square area) that I will also need to sand.
Should I sand right away or is it better to let the paint cure for a bit before sanding?
