STAGE II

Wow, this paint is WEIRD. I thought I messed up for a sec. I accidentally grabbed a 220grit and started wet sanding. few strokes in and i realize that i have the wrong grit. damage isn't too bad. I was impressed how i got a real good reflection on my 2nd stage of coating (3rd and 4th coat). but i got real bad orange peel. Before i started 2nd stage of coating, i went ahead and did a scratch test. unfortunately, my 1st stage failed and scratched.

Heres the 2nd stage (3rd and 4th coat)

This is where i accidentally used 220grit

---------------
I think i sanded too much. (using 800grit)

---------------
Paint coming off too easy

---------------
Phase 1 of 2nd stage (3rd coat)

---------------
3rd coat - still wet

---------------
ME -- notice orange peel






-After 3rd and 4th coat, what grit should i use? 1000g?
-When your applying the paint, do you spread the paint out until roller becomes dry and move to another section? or do you roll the paint over the same spot for better coverage?
-My 1st stage of paint can be scratched off with a nail. Does this mean I have to stop and start over?
