1. What do you do if you have left over paint in the cup? - discard it
2. How long do you have to mix some more before the gun/cup clogs? read TDS for "pot life"
3. Where do you clean the gun? "in your garage with some lacquer thinner or gun wash"
4. How much of a pain is cleaning the gun? - not really a pain at all
5. How do you touch up paint after a week or month? - that depends on the type of paint you buy
6. How smooth is smooth?
7. Sand with machines or blocks? - both..just depends on what stage you are at
8. Can you paint over older paint if it's tight. - absolutely!
9. How do you know if it's tight?
- if it's not peeling or flaking or otherwise falling off, it is deemed "tightly adhered" which is a perfect substrate to apply more paint.

Yes, there is lots to learn but it is possible if you set your mind to it.
Merry Christmas!
