Ready to Paint!

I wasnt sure where to post this at so i just decided to throw it here, ive been working for a few days and just wanted you guys to check out the latest on my 88 camaro, been sanding down with 3m 220, i have a da sander but it kept taking digs out of the paint, and i would have to come and sand over them anyway so its all done by hand.
