if you think you're done sanding, you're not. sand some more. you cant sand it down smooth enough. 320, then 400, then 600 grit wet sanding the primer to knock down highspots and fill in any small lows and scratches with primer, 800 wet sand the primer till the whole car looks smooth as can be. sand between color coats with 1000 grit wet to knock down orange peel, overspray, runs, and drips. do the same with clear coats. then wetsand the whole clear coated car with 2000 grit till its all smooth, then start buffing the gloss onto the car. its ALOT of work, but once its done it'll be show winning quality even with mediocre quality paints.
