    Did you wipe it down really well with acetone or something beforehand? Also what paint/primer did you use? Some brands may not be compatible.

              You will likely find that the acetone will remove the primer if it hasn't had more than a few hours to dry yet. Then you can just wipe off primer and start over.

                Acetone will probably wipe the primer off lol
                I would lose the primer entirely unless you have repairs that need to be filled.
                Just sand and paint.

                        Ok i'm ready to sand the primer but not sure on the grit to use. Do i use a 300 or more and do i wet sand or dry sand?
