    Do these steps look right for Painting?

     



    1. DPLF on Bare Metal
    2. Dry overnight then scuff
    3. Bondo
    4. DPLF on whole Car
    5. Dry overnight then scuff
    6. Hi-Build
    7. Sand level
    8. Base Coat
    9. Clear Coat

    Also, I have noticed that 2-3 coats of clear are generally quoted, but...Can I put like 5-6 on at one time? Or should I wait for some time (How much?) then scuff and put the last 3 coats on?

    The reason is, so I don't run the chance of buffing through. There are about a thousand big rivets on a Hummer and I will definitely hit some when wet sanding & buffing.

    Thanks,

    Scott
