You can save all your wet sanding and buffing once your finished painting to get rid of any imperfections.
Another point about block sanding that can lead to mistakes is this. Let the sand paper do the work. In other words don't muscle and push down hard while sanding. Just let the black guide across the panel in an x pattern. Applying pressure will lead to problems.

Thanks for the info Bam.
You always have great info on how to do this stuff.
The cold weather kept me from wanting to spray any epoxy so it slowed my progress some.
How's your truck coming?
