Default *Need opinions; my crx body prep*

Ok, ive been prepping my car past few days, I would sand down where rust was and put 2 coats of rust bullet, then for all the little imperfections I just put filler to make it flat/smooth. I actually reshaped my rear quarter with filler. I still have to do the driver door, and fill the holes on the door.

But besides the minor things I have to finish, does it look good enough to primer/paint, everything it smooth too, no rough spots, I hit the whole car with 400 grit.

before



currently

I'm not much of a body work man, but I'm guessing since I can see the lines from the sand paper grain, it's not ready to paint.

their just scuff marks b/c of the primer., only thing I didnt sand with 400 was the hood. Like I said everything looks rough but its all smooth

Anyone got suggestions to make it better if needed, like should I sand the car to red and get rid of all the primer to make it completely even, or does a thin layer of primer make it that uneven ?

get yourself a dual action sander and some 400-500 grit paper for it and go to town then block the car with 600 then 800, then 1000 then 1200 or more, use filler sparingly!!!!
