Well i just laid down the first coat of paint after 2 coats of primer so far so good, but i went to check on it and there is little bits of dust all over it otherwise i think everything is fine, what do i do now do i just sand off the dust and repaint it???

Just a very light sand should do.

I painted the body, i dont think i used enough primer because the panel lines show a little white in them after 4 coats of paint but otherwise it looks good, do you guys paint all the trim around the windows then polish or polish after you paint the window trim, and also i fill in panel lines with watercolors should i do this after or before polish?

I'd give it a good rub with compound first then do all your panel lines and trim. Most times if you do all the detail work i will rub of around windows etc with the compound.
Plus, the trim etc needs to be a semi-gloss most times and polishing it wont look right as it will give it a shine
