"Flat Board Sander" we always called an "air file". I've done around 30 cars. Too many layers of bondo ends with too much waste on the floor. Better to go ajust a little heavy on that first coat and then sand to finish than to apply, sand, apply sand, etc. But you're getting it. Also, what drove me out of the profession were the styes I got around my eyes from the bondo dust. Once I had around 40 or so I decided to lay down my paint gun... and here's a great hint I had to learn the hard way... before you paint in that garage, if you can, of course clean it entirely! Once that's done and you're ready to paint, wheel the car back in and then waste about a 5th of a gun of paint spraying the air around the inside of the garage. The paint in the air will attach to the dust in the air which will make it heavier and either fall to the floor or stick to the walls and ceiling... resulting in less dirt in the finished product. Have fun though... that's the important part. Hobby's should be fun! Oh yea... and to find that really illusive "wave" in the metal or bondo... I used to put on a thin coat of black. Then block sand it with like a 220. Tha black will make every flaw show. You're doin great!
It’s called Greyish Blue. Not very original, I know. lol. I got the inspiration from another truck painted almost the exact same color. His color was called Battleship Grey. Much cooler name.
