Sanding a black guide coat will show you your problem areas.

I'm talking about worrisome things like sanding scratches, adhesion problems lurking and waiting to pop up in the future, etc. I don't want to paint this thing and next year have bubbles popping up, paint coming off in sheets, etc. As for the surface being flat, I'm pretty.....fairly..... confident it's blocked ok.
