The first picture shows the various tools and blocks used to sand the filler. I first used the air longboard sander with 40 grit paper to knock down the filler to get it into the ballpark. Then I use the Durablocks with 80 grit all the way up to 120 to get it closer. Then finish with a DA sander to get it feathered into the existing areas. The primer in the picture is Napa brand TEC 2-n-1 primer, I use this before I actually will lay a few layers of filler primer before painting.

The second picture shows the UPOL Gold UP0745 body filler and the 3M white glaze 05095 for filling small imperfections and any small pin holes. These are the products that I use after trying several brands. These work great for me and they are affordable, not saying these are the only ones just what works for me.
