Paint work is not cheap anymore. Cut and buff time depends on the paint. Ask the people that supplied the paint they should know. Some if you don't get it in the window you will never buff it.Also go the extra step down to 3000 grit and it makes it so much easier to buff. Wet sand with a little dish soap in water helps.Use the correct pads for the compound you are using and I usually do three steps to get final buff. 3M and a company called Presta make a kit. A good variable buffer and a good touch. Tape high spots also do them by hand. Very easy to burn paint. Hope this helps.
