spray a black guide coat, or use a powder guide coat and block it lightly with 320-400 grit paper.when blocking a car you shouldnt be pressing too hard or your not ever going to find the spots that arent right. find your low spots, fix em. than block the repair spots again after primer. than lightly, and i mean lightly wetsand with 5-600 grit paper. if you wetsand too hard your going to negate the entire process of blocking the car. or you can use a d/a sander with a SOFT PAD and 600 grit paper and very light pressure for final prep.
