I bought the devilbiss finishline 5 from the UK because it isnt sold in the US, go on youtube and look up the gunman he does awesome videos of how to paint cars.

After you block sand to get everything straight you final sand with 400-600 metallics need 600grit.

I used a small durablock and wet sanded, i also guide coated for the blocking and wet sanding.

The round block(dowel) is good for the wheel well arches and rounder areas like the hood bulge.
