Mark,
You might try getting a 100 to 150 watt flood light and set it up
just outboard of the wing tip pointing inboard -- so the light just
grazes the surface. Then turn off all the overhead shop lights. You
will be surprised how easy you will be able to see all the little
imperfections. If you see them this way, you can be sure that they
will be visible after a nice glossy coat of paint is applied. I did
most of sanding and filling using this flood-light illumination
technique. It makes it much easier to tell when you are finished and
ready to move on to primer.
