There is actually a lot more to the sanding than just sanding. The single important thing is to evenly sand the vehicle. As an example - if you have a scratch and you "sand it out" you will create a low spot that requires a larger-than-you-would-think area to also need sanding. Its also important to match the finish sanding grit with the paint product you are using. (IOW, Follow the manufacturers recommended finish steps before applying.)

There are lots of books on the subject - and numerous articles on the internet. With all the questions you have - and *especially* since you are considering black (which will show every single detail you miss) I would really suggest doing a search for some good tips/tricks. You might even consider trying to work a deal with some local body shop to work for low wages/free in exchange for them teaching you a few hours worth of how-to.
