What do people use to get the uniformed smooth look when sanding to the bare metal?

It takes some skill on both the welding and metal finishing side. The quick answer is that you have to be able to weld the panels with minimal warping or distortion. Then knock the welds down with a grinder with out getting into the metal around it. We then do a lot of hammer and dolly work to make sure that all surfaces are even and uniform before final grinding. We step down the grit getting finer and finer and then finish it with a DA and then a red scuff pad by hand.
