for long straight things, like doors, I try to use a long stiff sandpaper holder and some of those long narrow sanding strips available at the body shop supply. actually, I use a piece of 3/4 plywood for the sanding board and simply staple the paper to the top side after bending around the ends of the board. with little pressure applied, so the metal doesn't spring away, the panels will come out very smooth and straight. there is also stuff called guide coat that is handy. it is a darker color than the primer and sands easy so it will show up any high spots right away when sanding.

Thanks for the comments. I currently just have a durablock set. But today, ordered a few more blocks for the toolbox. I haven't been using guide coat for the filler. It makes sense though.
