  Craig,
  Having had exactly the same experience with my ES I applied and sanded off
  hundreds of dollars of filler/primer and left it laying on the floor.  Only
  to have the painter do it all over again anyway.  My serious recommendation
  is to save yourself some money and have a painter come in and prep and prime
  the bottom for you.  If I ever do another airplane I will not even touch the
  body work. I will only sand off the roughest edges and seam joints. To me it
  was hundreds of wasted hours and material.  I think that if you give each
  component to the painter as it is completed it gets done over time and
  spreads the cost and enormity of the body work / painting project out over a
  manageable timeframe.
  
  My .02 and dang well worth it!!!
