will be finew by hand but if it feels wavy just put a light skim over it and then use a block of wood or something and some 180 or so paper and then go over it till its all smooth!

DA, electric sander... Sorry If you use an electric sander then it will be wavey and all over the place, also, if you sand it by hand with no block then it will be wavey. The annoying thing is you can't notice until it's been painted unless you have a good feel for stuff like that.

Lol. Feels ok, and my bodyshop guy has had a feel, he said it feels almost as good as something he'd do!! Needs a lil bit of finishing but he said he'll sort that when the car goes in.
