Default Need help with paint streaks

ok so im currently painting my car, i like the primer color alot so i plan on keeping it then clear coating it (ive seen it done before) the primer is Duplicolor's "Sandable primer" By wet sanding it, will it remove the streaks and make it all even? Thanks, MUCH appreciated

Np, Just take your time while your wet sanding don't try to rush things.

You really don't need to do all that, Try 800 and see how it looks.
