i've been doing the same thing recently and finally got it flat, it helps to spray a colour paint over the primer to highlight any raises, mine looked fine under primer till i sprayed matt black and you could see a noticable circle
:yeahthat:
spray a (tracer coat)
A colour that stands out against the primer, lets say yellow. spray it as a really really light mist coat.
Then, using a sanding block gently rub away the yellow paint. any low areas will still remain yellow. refill and repeat.

i cleaned all my panels with panel wipe but in a few spots paint is separating, like there some contamination on the panel
what paint are you using Dave?
If waterbase then you need a special panel wipe.
otherwise if using 1k or 2k then rewipe the area allow to dry completely and re-try. allow first coat of paint to dry and then try another on top.

what is "flash it"?
might be my slang but think its more of a technical spray term. It means, to spray a top coat of paint.
Did you get it sorted Dave?

Why don't you colour match it with them then?
