hey man do u use clear over the color, u should ,at least 3 coats,.i use 2 pak always, it is harder wearing and easier to get a really gd shine straight off the gun..if ur gd enough u dont need to polish it but it also can help to add a little extra thinners in the last coat ,it helps with flowout..if u need 2 polish ,i do it like this,,,wash ur paint fist to remove any dust and shit like that, then carefully with 2000grit or finer wet n dry paper sand back to remove what they call orange peel , wso the paint is smooth-being careful not 2 sand thru on any high spots/ribs etc,then i personally use a electric buffer with Meguiars SOLO cut n polish cream 2 bring up an awesome shine ,and then i use Meguiars show car glaze to finish off-again with the buffer,,,,... clean paint again and chamois dry.......any help....
