IF you call using a 16" long sanding board fun , I have some beach front property I'll sell ya here in Kansas ...LOL
Only way to make a car straight is to Prime it , and block sand , going to finer grit sand paper after each application of 3 coats of primer . We have primed and blocked the body 4 times so far , and tomorrow we will prime it one last time for a final wet sanding with 500 grit .
My buddy is finding out why a show paint job costs from 5K - 30K , he already has 2K in just priming the car 4 times . Thats not including sand paper , masking tape or other little items he needed . It costs 300 bucks for every 3 coats of primer. He will really crap his britches when he buys the red base coat paint , and all the clear he will need to paint it , it will be close to 15 hundred bucks .
I used to help my dad paint cars.Thats how he made extra money after he retired.He would buy cars cheap from car auctions and we would paint them and resale them.He made out like a bandit,I just did it to help him.And it was alot of fun working with him. And I ended up being a spray painter for a couple of years after helping him.I hated that.Came out covered in paint everyday.Ugh!So I gave it up to do womens work a while.lol And ur right sanding is a pain in the ass.
