If its still not too late:

Go with 3M Wet/Dry sandpaper with the big sheets cut them in sections of 4 if your only using a block. Otherwise circular disc for DA.

Get grits from 36 60 80 for bondo shaping and smoothing/ 80 for clear coat only of going down to primer as it will warp if left on spots too long.

120-180 smoothing out fine bondo

320 -400 for prepping surface for primer- use block to get it smooth and flat as possible.

use graphite powder or if you want to, go with a dark or light primer to check imperfections depending on your primer choice.
