body prep help

im thinkin of getting my vert stripped and sandblasted.
is it ok to get it blasted and primed then let it sit for a while? or do i need to get it painted asap?
should i wait til i have all the parts to finish all at once?

You can't let primer sit, it absorbs moisture.

Personally I'd wait but if its sealed it isn't a big deal. I'd rather just get it all done at once just becuase you know nothing can go wrong.
