I'd really love to sand, primer and fill my own TC at home before getting it painted, but I literally have no idea how to do it. Can anyone give any rundowns on the process? Something in steps with tips would be great, ie what to do before sanding, how far to sand, what filler/primer to use, etc.

There have been hundreds, if not thousands of books written about body / paint work. Check out your local public library and start reading. In many ways, body / paint is more of an art than a science, and requires lots of practice do do a decent job.
