thank you! when it primer i water sand it down to smooth with 400-800 grit. and after that base coat, clear coat after that and water sand it down until it smooth with no spot. you use either compound from 3m or meguiar's to buff it.

add a lil bit extra reducer to help it flow out and reduce your orange peel. it will also make the cutting and buffing easier. just watch for runs because they will form easier. quarter looks good from what i can see.
