Ok, so i'm going to get my cars paint refreshened. It is white. I want it to have that "just painted" look, so how many clear coats will give me this?

 

Spray 3, DA 1 off then buff.

 

Don't just DA it. U have to use a micro film paper. (i don't care for it) I like wet sanding. And the right pad for your DA. Spray on 3 wet caots of clear. Tha wet sand the places that need to be wet sanded. Than buff. I painted this today. And it came out looking like glass. No resson to wet sand it. That pics was taken about 4 hour after I painted it

 

A good clear coat and some buffing will make it look great. I never had a chance to buff my car, and it still had that wet look after it was done drying.
