Wet sanding curves

I painted my new FRS fender vents WRB and the clear has had a few days to cure, so now I'm ready to wet sand the imperfections. What's the best way to sand a curved surface? I'd like to get a block but I don't know how I'm going to come close to matching the contour.

do it by hand, the wet sandpaper will form in there after a couple minutes and itll ride the curves.


quick aside: what did you do with your BRZ fender vents?
