I wouldn't sand the final coat of color, especially metallics.

You're going to keep seeing scratches until you sand with the correct grit.

I don't see any scratches on the bed and I've been using the same grits. What should I use? 300? 600?

400-600 before painting color coat. It feathers out the scratches and edges.

No problem. Coarse grits for paint and rust removal. I'll still feather out the paint with 400 then primer to see how it looks. Then sand with 400-600 and reprime if you have to.
