Here's another question on painting. I used to know all this, but that was when primer was just primer, and a good paint job was Lacquer in 20 coats sprayed on and 15 sanded off.
I've got the basics: etch primer on bare metal, then epoxy primer for a great base. Filler and high build primer, with a few boxes of sandpaper for a perfect surface.
Now the color/clear coats. I understand these 2-part finishes have a fairly thin color coat, and a "thick" clear coat.
Is the base color coat color sanded? Or does the clear just go over it, which is then color sanded (for orange peel and other issues).
