I have read, and read, a lot of the tips and tutorials listed on this board and other websites on block sanding and filling.
I expect to start the first bit of filling soon.
What techniques should I use, for blocking and filling on my rear quarter panel? There are multiple shapes on this panel, and I don't want to muddy the lines or round the lines where they should be sharp. Nor do I want to have bad contours where two different shapes intersect.
I had thought the best way might be, to fill and sand one contour at a time. I don't really know where to start though. Should I start with the small detail sections, or should I start with the larger areas and finish with the smaller sections?
For example would I work the larger area of the quarter panel, then go to the fender edge (flare line fold) and then do the scallop and the raised sections around it? Or the reverse order.
I have tentatively set aside 2 months to do this work, hopefully that is enough time.
One other question, if I spend enough time blocking, sanding, filling, and finish off blocking with a good finishing compound, will I/should I still give it a coat of high build primer, then block that?
