ok so im trying to paint my hood with rustoleum stop rust and i realize i should of prob picked up some marine paint. although i am having no issue with hardness, seems fairly glossy so far, so all is well. but i did my last coat and am unsure as to what i should do now, ive been following and things seem to be changing. should i sand with 1500 then 2000 then polish, can i get away with only 1500 and polish, 2000 and polish? what would you guys recommend?? also how would the brightside red color that marq used compare to the safety red from rustoleum. i like that color but the pics marq had seemed to be a little funky looking in terms of color.
