I used 120 grit on an 18 inch board to start with on the sides of the car. I was told to use a 30inch but used what I had. Then 220 320 and finally 400 before applying the sealer and paint. Now I'm not a professional painter. I painted my car in the garage. I wish I had more room and more lighting on top to see the metalic spray pattern as I have some molldeling I think it's called. Good luck with yours, it's looking good so far.

Yeah, I'm using slickSand also on my 68 GTX. Just keep working the block (18") with 120 grit sticky-back paper untill you need a joint-replacement or you start going through and see what's
underneath. Use a round block, or a piece of 2" PVC with the same paper to do your reverse curves. Use an "X" pattern, and overlap everything. Keep reducing your paper grit until you get to 320
and then you'll be ready to finish-block with 400 wet. Use some dishsoap (Dawn) in the water and use a spray bottle to keep it wet and the paper clear. You can now see how straight everything is!
If you feel like it, you can put a coat of black primer on it to really prove that it's "Done". Your project looks great! keep up the good work!
