[QUOTE="wingsnhammers, post: 329243, member: 9821"] I think that a top notch job would require several color coats with progressively finer sanding after each coat. For instance, spray coat 1, then sand with 400 grit. Put on coat 2, sand with 600. Coat 3, sand 800. I don't know the actual grits that you would need to use, I simply used those numbers to make my example. However, I would probably use close to those numbers if I were looking for a nice finish. After the final coat, I would sand with 1200-1500 grit sandpaper, clean very well, and spray on a coat of clear. [/QUOTE]
