Over the weekend i've been turning this spare wing i found a couple of years ago



into this fully smoothed option, mostly doing this as practise to see if i could do the rest of the car by hand panel by panel



This is as far as i've got today flating and hand polishing, i had to stop and think but i just don't know / cant figure out the answer so hoping someone else has been here and knows???

I wanted to put a clear coat on top of the black to make it much deeper shine and protect it

but....

obviously i've keyed up each preceding layer of paint to get the next to stick, i didnt want the orange peel look under my clear coat so i've been flatting and polishing it out but, will the clear coat stick to a mirror finish solid colour??

help please

What paint are you using?

How come when I always try to flat it down to lacquer I always seem to take the paint off with the sand paper? I always use 1000-1200 grit wet, but it always marks the paint and removes small parts of it.
