I would also use 120 grit, not 80. This might cause more work, but you won't be worrying about the scratches from the 80 when you prime. I would do all you can while it is over on the top. As far as spraying the color, well there are multiple trains of thought there. I am not as brave as you and my painter is spraying the color on the fuselage now, including the bottom. Go luck....
