Actually, there is no need to do that, and in some ways is frowned upon in the industry. Dry sand it with 400 grit and then shoot your topcoat of paint. If you color-sand with 2000 and higher grit paper, then you will need water with a dab of soap to flush the paper.
As far as curves go, the shapes of a M/C tank are similar to shapes of a Model-A front fender.
