hi Bob,

I would suggest applying a few more coats of high build and then spraying on a
guide coat.  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....
