Paint needs "tooth" so it wont come off when you hit it with the hose when washing. I generally dry sand using the DA and 280 - 320 grit paper. Then apply color and clear. If I did it right, the clear is near perfect (happens only 3 out of 10 times). If I sneezed when applying, then I can wet sand and buff the clear. If you sneeze during the color coat, then wait 4 hours and wet sand and tack prior to spraying clear.
