From your profile you posted your question and then have never come back, so answers may be a waste of time, but it hasn't been two weeks yet so..... I'm not an experienced painter, but have done a bit and have talked to my local paint guy a bunch, trying to learn before I screw up the '33 After preparation, getting the surface clean, and getting ALL of the dust & debris blown out of nooks and crannies the most important step, seems to me, is to understand the specific product that you choose to spray, and to stay within the defined time windows on application. For example, on most products you don't want to pile on too many coats of clear before letting it cure or it's going to give you problems - may have to shoot two to three coats, let it cure for some finite time, then give it a quick wet sand and cleaning before shooting another round of clear for the "depth" you want. Pick your paint, then talk to the supplier enough to be sure you understand the application process. I've been told a "good" paint job you can see your cell phone reflected in the surface. A "great" paint job you can read the numbers on the keys.
