marq,
after how many days you suggest to polish the paint to remove the dust pieces?
I'm almost ready with the final coat on the passengerside...
Well... I am confused.... with the sequence you just described above. I would not be 'polishing' to remove dust and then following it up with a 'final coat'.
IF you are planning to add one final coat of paint... I would be only doing a very high grit wetsanding to prepared the surface ( and nail the dust at the same time ).

no, sorry for the confusing..
The car is now ready, all the paint is on the car.
Now there is some dust on the car on the top paint... Not very much, but it's good visible..
So I think polishing is the best way to do I think.
What do you think? and when can I do this?
How long must the paint harden

Marq, I'm pretty sure this question has been asked before. I looked through the thred and its litteraly three in the morning and I can't find the answer any where.  
if I use the grey rusto primer and roll it on, will I have any problems when I put the canvas white on?????
Ok... whatcha do is this :
Take one can of bight white rustoleum and one can of gray primer. Mix them 50/50. Use that mixture as your primer. What happens is that you can add some color ( the bright white rustoleum ) to lighten the gray primer.
You could say that you are 'priming the primer'...
Ok... once the car is primered, get the primed surface just as smooth and sanded as if you were applying a coat of your canvas white paint mixture. This will give the canvas white a head start by having a uniform light color base on which to build on...

What should I use to thin Rustoleum when I shoot it through a gun?
100% pure mineral spirit ( preferably not the low odor type ).

thank you very much marq, I was acctualy just wondering if I was going to have some sort of adhision problem. Like if I was going to get eliphant skinn or cracks. But you also gave me some very good advice as far as the color mixing. I almost forgot how the bottom layer of what ever your painting on tints the acctual paint job 
IF you have prepared the body surface properly... there 'should' be no adhesion problems at all. Just take your time and allow enough time between coats. Since your base primer coat ( even with paint to tint mixed with the primer ) is going to be the foundation for the subsequent layers of 'just paint'.. be sure to really nail your primer coat or coats to the best that you can. Treat it just like a painted coat for wetsanding and surface smoothing prior to actually laying paint down on it. The smoother your primer coat, the better and shinier the subsequent painted coats will go on and look.

That way dust wont come back on it

Just wanted to show a quick before and after. I used Sunburst Yellow Rustoleum with odorless mineral spirits. It took about 8 coats for full coverage, sanding between every two coats. I didn't use primer, just painted over bare metal and paint.

but sounds to me like you need to use a thinner mixture and lay it on real light. I dont remember seeing any roller marks when painting, or if I did, they went away on their own when rolling over the area after applying the coat (to even things out). Thicker paint will just stay there and not self level, and too much thin paint would probably run.
