I am a total rookie working on
my first complete paint job and have a question regarding block sanding a door skin. I am working on a square body Chevy truck and this is a restoration to as good or better than that rolled off the factory floor. It will not be a show truck but want something that will look good.
I got the doors in epoxy, did my filler work sanded to 220 and then applied 3 coats of 2k. I the started blocking with 150 and 3m guide coat then blocked to 220 and guide coat. My question is that the door edge on the fender side and the B pillar edge rolls in. I knew this when I was doing my body work but did not want to add a bunch of filler on a door edge. How to you sand this slight curve to blend into the straight body panel? I have been using gator sponges the same grit I am blocking with and it looks good when I am done but I am worried that once base and clear go on it will look like crap? Is this the correct way you guys do this? I attached a picture of the blocked door with the guide coat still on the edge.
