Hey guys i'm new here i've spent the past week or so reading my way through from the first post and i have just started painting my camaro rustoleum gloss black..

i have a few questions though

on my first coat on the hood i sanded with 100/220/400 and it felt completely smooth to the touch. the first coat went on alittle thick and i could clearly see some sanding marks that must've stayed through from the 100g sanding. to continue should i just wetsand with 400 until its smooth again or must i completely sand it off and start over?

also this weekend im looking at buying a polisher. i'm a college student currently on a break and i dont have much money. i've read great things about the PC 7424, but i've also been looking at a chicago electric rotary from harbor freight. the rotary is only 50 bucks

would someone with no polishing experience but an exceptionally high learning curve be able to use the rotary to polish or will it be worth it in the end to just buy the porter cable?



thanks
