i think all of this is gonna confuse him. sand your car with 400 grit paper only before the 1st coat of color. after all of your color coats are on and all of your clear coats are on and it is dry, then sand it with 1500 grit paper and buff it with a buffing compund. if you dont have access to an elctric buffer then dont sand with the 1500 after painting. just deal with it not being super slick. and by the way paint will stick to an area sanded with 2000 grit paper. so you can sand the car before painting with as fine as you want, but its all in the patience you have, but the finer you use before paint the easier it will be to make look good after paint

its the interior, so an electric buffer wouldnt be very easy.

oh, when i read it i thought he was saying he has painted a lot of his interior and was moving to the outside[sm=oopssign.gif]. well then just sand with 400 and go at it again, but dont sand your color between coats or before clear
