Ok, need some help from the pros....  ;D

While this did not appear when I primed (since it looked amazingly smooth), after I applied the first coat of paint I look at the results, and I clearly see not a smooth surface but some marks below are clearly seen...

No doubt this is due to my poor hand sanding, yes? And I'm looking at the sanding marks?

If so, can you give me some tips to fix this?  should I start with the wet sanding now to make it easier to correct, or is it the same?

Would it help if I just went ahead and used an orbital sander?  :-\

I'm posting a series of video tutorials (3 altogether)  that cover these very questions.  The first one is up in my my project thread now, the next will be later today, in them I'm going from raw plywood to ultra gloss finish, check em out.

Walter, its been great reading your progress.  im about to go read your post on building basics.  I have a cab im working on, and im going to start my own thread soon.  I find this thread extremely helpful helps fill the gaps.  I cant wait to see how this turns out.

As for your question about brush vs rollers.  a high quality roller is the way to go.

Thanks Steve! That was the whole point, not only to get tips (which I could asking in any thread) but also to document what I did for others that are new to this like me.

Thanks for the rolle/brush tip, which I will use when I finish this and jump into buildon the "real" normal sized one :)

Hope to see your thread soon!
