I wouldn't wet sand polyester primer. That is for high build and can be a bear to sand with any grit that is fine enough to find a wet sand paper in. It also isn't completely waterproof, meaning it will absorb moisture. Block sand it dry until you get your panels straight, then apply a urethane primer over that and wet sand that.

You can still find lacquer primer? I haven't seen that stuff, with the exception of spray cans, for years!
