Gecko Daphne Blue Jazzmaster
This sequence is to show you what comes next. I already mentioned - that a lot of sanding and leveling was needed. Here you  see the body sanded and sealed. The dark areas are low spots where sanding didn't  touch. It shows you how poor the original sanding was. Major low spots are along the grain stripes and where it's still blue, sanding didn't touch the blue at all.
Sanded level (sort of) and primed with white. You don't see any low spots do you? Looks are deceptive.  
First color coat, looks nice doesn't it? No deep spots, right? Wrong. I sanded this off to where there was more white primer than blue. Pretty level. I'll still need to prime again after sanding almost all the blue off and level sand again. If any additional paint is needed, it will be clear, no primer left, I sprayed and sanded off too much.
