The pinstripe was cleared over, thats why I went with the 80-grit. I used a 3M sanding block. I will be getting sandable primer. Will a gray primer vs. a white one affect the final color as long as I get 2-3 coats of color over it? I plan on wetsanding my color coats starting with 1000-grit working my way to 2000-grit. Should I sand the final color coat before the clear goes on? I am guessing I should lightly sand the clear coats with 2000-grit, then only buff the final clear coat with an oribital buffer and thin-cut 3M compound?

I'm not sure what Plast-kote is, but I'm thinking its the stuff in the spray can right? If so, that shit is pretty thin, so maybe do more coats of color, and I wouldn't sand the color in between coats unless you get dirt in them.If you tack-rag it good in between paint and clear coats, you shouldn't have to do any sanding after the primer.If you decide to sand/buff the clear when it dry be careful, like I said, that stuff goes on thin and you'll probably sand through easily, even with 2000 grit.As far as the primer, I'd go with the gray in your case, then you can see thin spots in the color easier.Whites are usually high pigment colors and cover pretty well, so white or gray primer shouldn't make a difference in the final color.
