I'd use high build to make sure you have got rid of any imperfections

The higher the grade paper you finish with the better te paint will look when painted. For example finish the filler with 180 and you cant see the scratch marks from lower grades.

Then spray gently the primer with a guide coat (just black paint), then when you flat the primer down you have a guide to see how far you have rubbed down. Normally when the black paint has been rubbed away the primer is flat enough for paint.
