wet sand with about 400-600. I would do the inside, most of the old cars, my 74 Nova fenders rust from the inside out. I would check the surface out and if the surface is smooth and without flaws then go to the next step. Just make sure anytime you sand you use a sanding block. Don't use your hand, it will put ripples on the surface. You can also wet sand the finished paint once it has dried. You use 1400-1600 I think. Around those numbers. Then buff out. Hope it turns out good for you.
You wet sand the primer with 1400 grit so it is smooth the best way to see if it is flat is take some black spray paint and mist it over the primer and sand the primer till all of the black spray paint is gone the reason that you do this is so you can see the low spots in the primer so when all of the black is gone it is FLAT there will be no wave at all in the paint. I know this I have painted a few cars in my short time on earth and have not messed one up yet.
