But I do have a question about primer. I have used the search feature but nothing specific to my question.

I have red conflicting statements about sanding primer. I thought that primer is intended to show up imperfections for you to be able to correct it. So if I am not supposed to sand in between priming layers, how am I supposed to correct the imperfections?

Sorry if it is a stupid question but noobs tend to ask them :P
You should always sand the primer layers until they are very smooth, otherwise the texture of the primer will show through your paint layers.

Check these:
