First time painter needs help.

the clearing was my thought also. if i were to get runs in the single stage or dirt or some sort of imperfection i could wet sand it out and then clear the single stage and be ok.

I know there is alot of talent involved in painting cars but seems to me that there is a **** ton of labor intensive grunt work involved in the prep work. i happen to be one hell of a work horse so i figure that if i take my time and prep it correctly i should get a decent finished product.
