Right ive just been out and bought some proper paint for my car which was made up and i was told it wont need laquer on top as it has a gloss finish anyway so do i need to wet n dry it after its 3rd coat of the paint or not, i want the best finish as possible.
Is it better to wet the sandpaper or have it dry for keying before paint?
Thanks, just confused

If it's solid colour or high gloss then only give it a light de nibing after you have finished painting and it's fully dry but you will need a compound like g3 to bring the colour back up. If there is no dirt in the paint when you finished dont bother sanding and buffing it.

A lot of solid colours aren't lacquered, they just add something to the paint.
Thats why you can get something sprayed in a solid colour in a day

Don't wet sand paper as it will fall to bits. If you're using "wet or dry" paper, I always use it wet. reduces dust and helps the paper glide over the surface, and helps reduce clogging.
