First bodywork ever

So before in one of my previous updates, I epoxied a metal plate behind the old mirror mounting holes. This weekend I took a chance and did some bodywork to fill the holes. I managed to lose most of the process pictures, but I have a before and after picture.
 Here are the holes after sanding down the paint around them. After this, I used body filler to fill the holes. I then leveled and sanded the surface using a sanding block to get it smooth and seamless with the rest of the car.
After that, I put a coat of primer over it to seal it from the weather, until I can paint the rest of the car. You can't even tell the holes were there when you run your fingers over it.
