So when I wet sand, use a mix of soap and water? Also, I have been letting the sand paper basically sit immersed in water. Should I be doing something different? I really want to master this painting deal because I feel like I can come out with some pretty dang nice stuff with rattle cans.

When I am laying the first coat of priimer, I usually put a very thin coat on. Should I put a pretty thick coat on first ie. so it will cover everything? I think I need to be more patient when painting. I havent really rushed this bike because I have let it bake in my car a couple times and in my garage a couple other times as well. A writeup with pictures wouldbe awesome.
