Remember that it is strongly recommended that unless you are going to strip all of the paint off the car that you paint over the top of it with whatever is already there (ie. enamel on enamel, laquor on laquor). Personally I prefer to spray laquor for the reason that you stated, wet sanding, dry sanding, and compounding are all recommended. With laquor, what you are spraying is all of the coats at once (not including the primer). Therefore any sanding or compounding will only result in a duller looking paint (you scratch and remove the clear layer). I have known some people which have been able to get away with using an extreemly fine paper and wet sanding enamel (800-1000 grit and alot of it). I recommend that the car be striped and built back up with laquor, if you feel that it is really worth doing a good job. -- Marc, WB1GRH
