> Your painter can and should do that step. It will include scuffing/sanding with the appropriate courseness to provide mechanical adhesion of the sealer primer. Your painter can use a different brand of sealer primer than the topcoat, but most will stick with one system from that point "up".  Then there will be a window that you can shoot the topcoat without re-scuffing, since you will get chemical adhesion. If you wait outside that window, then re-scuffing with the appropriate courseness is needed prior to topcoat.

I'm close to getting the airplane on it's backside for the preverbal flip and I'm planning on doing filling, sanding and priming while I've got it like that.  The reason I want to talk to the paint guys early is so that whatever I shoot will be compatible with whatever finishing system they use, so I want to start the conversation early.
