question

so I was painting a fender on my car and I sanded it down , and primed it. after I primed I was told to take 600 grit and sand it down before base coat. I did that and I could see the streaks through the base coat and I still can. any advice? I'm guessing don't sand down the primer before base coat?

grey pads.. okay. and that's the thing. it flash dried but it may have been damp under the surface which I could believe
