Looks amazing. I didn't know it was possible to fully hide the layer lines like you've done. How difficult was it to sand?
Honestly with using high build filler primer it was pretty easy. Really just sanding the primer down to get it even. Did 2 initial coats, little wet sanding to see how it looked, then a 3rd coat and a bit more wet sanding.
