She is a beauty.
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Thanks Tom, Kari, Bruce, Torben and Johnny.
Torben: Wet sanding, wet sanding , wet sanding. Just gotta be careful on the raised detail areas and corners not to burn/ sand through to the primer.

Damn, I knew you'd say that. 
But thanks anyway. I bought an extraction system last week that should lower the risk of catching dust. Man, I hate sanding.

LOL! Hey.....it takes what it takes buddy.
This'll be my second go round with these door panels as I didn't prime them before painting the first time and the paint lifted when I tried to apply the BMF to the trim areas. Bummer! So I stripped them and began with priming this time but ended up using Molotow Chrome the second time instead of BMF.
Picked up this new acrylic primer from Badger called STYNYLREZ. It's an acrylic polyurethane primer and I was pretty impressed with the results.
Just apply in thin coats and it goes on smooth as a baby's butt:
Finished door panels. I used RLM 79 with some shadowing here and there and chromed the details and trim with Molotow Chrome:
