You see in the close up pic of the wet sanding, how some looks white, while other deep spots are still black. Keep wet sanding.

That part should of been taken care of during priming. You shouldnt have bumps like that with only one coat.

I normally wet sand till perfect during primer.

4 coats of paint, then wet sand, then clear coat.

Thanks for the advise...like I said, this is my first try.

Any other advise from anyone else is very welcome.

I will most likely knock it all back down with the orbital after this coat dries.
