I'VE BEEN PAINTING FOR 15 YEARS NOW... 7 AT THE LOCAL FORD DEALER. RED OR GREY SCOTCH PAD. NO WET SANDING NEEDED. YOU SHOULD D/A W/ 360 - 400 GRIT THEN FOLLOW W/ THE SCOTCH PAD FOR HARD TO REACH AREAS.I DON'T LIKE PPG(PISS POOR GLOSS) CHECK ON RM/GLASSURIT.BOTH ARE FROM THE SAME MANUFACTURER AND ARE GREAT PAINT. THE NEW "HIGH SOLIDS" CLEARS ONLY NEED ABOUT 2 FULL COATS OF MATERIAL.DON'T USE LAQUER PRIMERS YOU WISH YOU HADN'T. USE A CATYLIZED PRIMER. TALK W/ YOUR LOCAL PAINT SUPPLIER FOR TECH INFO.REMEMBER BLOCKSAND ANY BODYWORK YOU DO. IT WILL SHOW.PRIMING ANYWHERE YOU BREAK THROUGH PAIND TO BARE METAL HELPS BUT NOT ALWAYS NECESSARY. USEING A SEALER ISN'T A BAD IDEA EITHER.IF ALL ELSE FAILS... CHECK W/ A SHOP TO SHOOT YOUR CAR WHEN YOU'RE READY. TAKE IT TO THEM TAPED AND READY FOR PAPER.
