Also,

so I sand with 250 before I paint>2 coats>800 grit>2 coats>600 grit>2 coats> 1000 grit??


6 coats should be good right?
Hey I think total im going to do 9 coats just because I want maximum coverage..I mean if Im doing all that work for 6 coats then whats a little more to throw on 8

and heres how I would do it if I were starting fresh

prep> then 1 coat > wetsand 800 > 2 more coats > wet sand 600 > 2 more coats > 600 again > 2 more > 800 2 more coats > sand 800 > 1000 > and then 1500 > buff.
