Hey Steve, I got a lot of help for my paint from these guys here:

I found more I just can't find them, I'll do a quick search and get back to you. That first link I found the best.

I can tell you what I was told if you're going to bare metal.....

1. I spread the filler and let it dry to a cheese like consistancy, used a rasp like tool to form down the high spots, let it dry about 20-30 minutes then hit it with 36-40 grit to shape it, add more coats if necessary and repeat. Finish it off with 80 grit.
2. For the glaze I spread it over everything to fill in grooves and pinholes and blend the edges, sand with 80 to get the shape and 120 for finish.
3. Sprayed primer sealer and two coats of high fill, I could still see some imperfections at this point but after lightly wet sanding with 400 it came out really nice.

I used a single stage with no sanding or buffing so I'll try to find you that link.
