Exactly - but color sanding is done with much care to avoid sanding through
to the primer. This is to leave an absolutely smooth surface for the second
color, and for the Imron clear coat we intend to put over the paint. We will
be using 1500 grit paper for this step, so we intend to remove very little
paint.

Color sanding will also reveal any nasty flaws, like deep scratches that
evaded earlier detection so they can be fixed, at the cost of some spot
painting. It's the only way to get a 'perfect' finish.
