sanding primer question
I just primed the grill in my '73 bronco. Question is: there are a ton of small areas in this grill that will make complete sanding nearly impossible. Is it o.k. to leave it as is (no sanding) and shoot the paint on top of it, or does someone know of a trick that'll work.

I am not familiar with your grill but generally speaking it is good to sand anything before painting or priming. Also bear in mind that the areas you can't sand now couldn't be sanded before you primed it so your new primer may flake off.
A couple of suggestions: Try using a Scotch Brite pad...you may be able to wad it up and get it into the hard to reach areas. Also, there are spray-on products that are supposed to make sanding unnecessary. I have never used it but I have seen it at automotive paint stores. Good luck.
