Depends on the airplane.  Legacy has pretty good molds that doesn't need 
too much fill.  A lot is ready to prime.  Use gloves and or squeegee and 
put first coat of primer on.  This makes it much easier to fill 
pinholes.  Roller will have a tendancy to roll over pinhole, then when 
you sand the pinhole shows up.  After squeegeeing 1st coat of primer rol 
a couple more on, then sand.  THis first sanding will tell you a lot 
about any highs and lows you overlooked. 

Used a 3M guide coat that is a powder.  Very easy to apply, stays puts 
during wet sanding, and really helps show low spots.
