It's adviable to "flat" the primer before applying the paint.
Some very fine wet and dry will suffice.

You may wish to use very fine wet&dry here
Each time you sand down use a lighter grain of sand paper (less ruff)
Apply coat one of colour
Wet & Dry
Coat two of colour
very very fine wet & dry
Coat three of colour
Allow to dry once happy apply two or three layers of laquer...
Think thats about it...Try do it in a dust free area and take your time as to get the best finish...

Hope it helps
