The only thing you will do when you block sand your primer is to make the car straighter. I painted my car black which is the most difficult color to look right and using a high build primer blocked it 5 times in one area just to get it right. This is a step that should be done to make your car look amazing. Do your first block with 150 next at 220 next at 320, 400 up to 600. Depending on how straight the car was to begin with you can skip the first couple of steps. As the car should be 220'd when you do your filler. You bet block sanding primer will only make it more beautiful make sure to use a board that is flat and depending on the size of the panel will determine the size of the board. Do your blocking with diagonal swipes only as back and forth motions will dig into the surface of the primer and make ridges.
yes you need to sand before and after you put on primer to give a nice smooth finish with a sand block that been use not a new sand block cause its hard and it will scrape and when you put your finish coat you wont see the scratches and remember two coats are better the one coat
NO! That will ruin the paint job!
If the surface has a scratch or a lump of paint, use t-cut to get rid of it!
You shouldn't normally need to sand primer.
I would sand it down with sand paper then paint with primer. After that apply a outdoor paint. Prep work should be smooth If you really want it to be nice hit the primer with a light sandpaper after the primer coat.

Use an enamel undercoater. It covers well and is easy to sand to perfection.
It depends what surface is. Usually you can apply oil based paint if surface is smooth.
Certainly. You may need to sand and "primer" it first to ensure that the new paint color will properly adhere to the metal. This similar method is used to paint cars, too.

Scrub it all off, sand the surface and paint a primer first.

You should have a paint spray gun that is designed for painting cars and vehicles. You should also buy the proper paint for cars. Green or red are good colors for a farm tractor. If you have rusty areas on the tractor, you will need to sand them off before you paint it.
I have never heard that one before. They are either talking about a flat type paint, which is a flat color, with not gloss, like primer almost. Or, the other thing could be talking about primer. When you paint a car with a high dollar paint job, you want a great shine. The best shine comes from a perfectly flat, no ripples, panel. Good luck with that one. When we paint those bubble gum colors on those cars we put about ten, or more coats of primer on the car, and then we block sand it down between every coat. Reason is, when we put on a coat, it adds thickness, or puts another layer on. Then, we take a piece of sand paper, and put it around a block of wood. What this does is remove the primer from the high spots, and leaves it in the low places, thus filling them in, and leveling out the high, and low spots, without having to use filler, or Bondo, which is frowned upon. If you block sand it enough times, that paint will shine like glass. It's all about smooth-ness. The paint has to be smooth, and applied properly, to achieve this, as well.
yes you can
Use a good primer, then you don't need to sand.
You use a special primer paint like Zinsser that will adhere to glossy paint and allow you to cover it with any type of paint you wish. Ask at your hardware store. They might also recommend that you sand the glossy paint lightly first to help the primer adhere.
Masonite can be painted, but it needs to be sealed first. Sand the siding with 80-grit sandpaper or a sanding block, but do not scrape the siding, as it can dislodge chunks of the siding. Apply a layer of primer before painting.
You didn't mention whether you were using latex or oil based primer and paint, but generally the point of using primer is so that you can paint over it with any form of wall paint. Just read the label on your primer can to make sure it is compatible. On the other hand, if you wanted to paint the primer over the satin gloss, you need to sand the surface lightly to remove the sheen of the paint and provide a suitable surface for the primer to adhere properly.

Yes, after ensuring that the surface is clean, oil-free and dull. Lightly sand the shiny surface to help the new paint adhere. Even though the paint is marketed as paint with primer, it still requires basic prep work prior to application.
