use krylon fusion for primer, wet sanding up to 2000 starting from 400 gives the best results.
Then colour then sand then repeat for however many coats you want.
then clear and sand and repeat 3-4 times. then polish and it should look better than the paint on any new GM.

^^^for higher gloss definatly wet sand between the coats of paint...idk bout sanding between the clearcoats tho ive never done that on anything ive painted and i didnt even think you were supposed to

**** gets in the paint when you're not using a paint booth.
Either you sand it or live with the small insects and dust particles that now call your front fascia home.

Clearcoat is just another layer of essentially invisible paint, meant mostly to protect it, so in that sense, it can bubble or be "unsmooth" just as well as paint does. Sanding it smooth would essentially remove any fogginess you'd get after multiple coats, and also, as Matt said, if you're not in a booth, **** gets in it.Originally Posted by CTKGP09

ok fair enough, consider me a little smarter! i thought the outcome would be cloudier but i see now otherwise

i wetsanded clear coat once, and it came out spotty

ive never NEEDED to sand it, the thicker the coats the better it will come out, just cant let it run
