DO NOT USE ANY LESS THAN 300GRIT TO ROUGHEN UP YOUR FACTORY PAINT!!!! It's a pain in the arse to level the smallest scratch which you'll notice after your first coat.
Pics below of my efforts today (2mp phone camera):
First Enamel Coat

First Enamel Coat - 30mins of 300 grit sanding

Second Enamel Coat - 30mins of 300 grit sanding

Third Enamel Coat - 30mins of 300 grit sanding http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...6/DSC03505.jpg
Fourth Acryllic Coat - Unpolished... 24hr drying time.
- As you can see theres streaks from me going up and down with the can... alo of effort in polishing will have to be done to remove this...
- It can be avoided if you do your Top coat under the following conditions which it wasn't really today:
- Not Windy
- Not Overly cold
- DO NOT do this in the sun, it will dry too quickly giving the streak effect when you start overlapping
- ALWAYS shake your can for at least another 30secs between 1-2 streaks
