The 180 (or 150) will smooth and level it. Its best to sand the first coat thoroughly with aggressive grit, re-prime and then hit it with 320/400. If you aren't re-priming the work up to 220/320/400... but by then you will be through the first primer.

I just use a paint mixing stick(a wood one)So block it with 180,then reprime it,and then block it again this time with 320-400.It takes along time but its the right way to do it.If you do the final sanding with wetsanding paper get a rubber squeegee to dry it off between sanding.That way you can see quickly if you missed anything.

Sand and sand again, I go 180. 220, 320, 600 wet, 800 wet.

Then paint and clear, back to sanding 1500 wet, 3000 wet.

Yup, you will get some toned arms by the time your done.

AdamR, are you the same Adam that helped me paint my car in 2005? This Adam had a body work website.

Possibly, I had a web site up for a while. Im one of those odd people who love blocking, LOL.

I did a lot of blocking on a few members cars. I did Big Inch Motors Barracuda and 340Swings Dart.
