Ok decidedto start doing my interior... gave everything a general sand but decided to keep the orange peel effect...so went ahead and started priming about 4 pieces of my interior and quickly ran out. So i sent my ladee to go get some more primer from the local shop.
I litterally finish everything off, then notice everything starts bubbling! I mean the paint is really lifting off. Works out she bought METAL primer that LOCKS OUT RUST and it reacted....so i was highly pissed off.
Anyway i sanded everything down and decided i needed to get rid of the orange peel effect. OH MY GOD it takes fucking ages!!!! SO i get some more abrahsive sand paper and that seems to do the job.
Now ive primed one piece and started to paint...but ive noticed you can see 3 deep scratches that the sand paper has caused which i was hoping the primer and paint would fill in.....no it hasnt.
Any advise on how to get rid of the scratches? Any advise on the other stuff how to remove the orange peel effect without scratching the interior to shit?
ANy advise aprieciated.

Finer sandpaper should remove the deep scratches. Just sand around them,

Nope it just takes hard graft to get rid of the orange peel effect, make sure ya use plastic primer, ya could try some high build primer on to of the primer you done, this fills some scratches

The best way to get rid of orange peel is to use high build primer without a doubt.

high build will do it with no sanding and 1 or 2 coats.
get some, spray it on, let it dry hard.
sand it down with 800 grade.
super smooth now, paint etc
job done.
i dunno why ppl spend ages sanding down these bits, a bodyshop wouldnt!
