Default custom paint job

Alright guys. I have been sanding my car down with 400 grit sandpaper with a sanding block. Yes i have hand sanded the entire car. Originally i was going to repaint it silver but i have decided to paint it blisterin blue. It is a 2000 z28. I bought an ss hood for her. This is the first time i have ever put pics up so bear with me. For some reason all of the pics didnt upload but that will have to do for now.

400 grit seams a little much for block sanding, on your filler I would def drop down to cut and work your way back up to 400
