    Can anyone help; I tried using Black Beauty 12/40 mesh (medium grade) to
    sandblast the bulkhead and the resulting pattern seems to be too coarse to
    give a good finish? I test primed it and it seems like the surface will
    smooth out with some sanding. Can anyone give me some insight on blasting
    the bulkhead? Is the surface left after blasting with the medium black
    beauty good enough for the bulkhead? Or do I need to step down to a fine
    grade? I am using a self-etching primer, primer and then a sprayed enamel.
    I not looking for a showroom finish, though. Just want to take the time to
    treat the bulkhead right as it is original to the Series with only minor
    surface rust and no repairs required.
