The paint that I use is in the Picture below...
But the truth is that any Primer will do, as long as you sand it first... Because the job that primer has is this: To make the Paint stick and look good...

What happened that you needed to sand it?
Sounds like something that I went through a while ago. Lemme guess Once you primed it, the dry primer made it easier to see the uneven surface that was the size of a pin head. And you are a perfectionist like me

ahahaha yeah exactly, before i primed it, it was smooth like a silk, i was showing it to my sister and being proud of the work i've done. After i primed i was like "***", i got so mad and didnt touch it for a few days. Than i sanded it down with a 1000 grit sp. than i wanted to cut off lil part around the blow hole, but things didnt turn out as i wanted so i messed up a lil, trying to fix it but i took a dislike to this modding thing...
