color sand, or wet sanding the color coat/clear. spray the paint and color sand it so get out the orange peel, so 800, 1200, 1500, 2K, 3K grits.
 
color sanding, ummm. Remember when you sanded between coats when doing lacquer? Well basically its the same thing except these days we color sand the clearcoat before we buff using 1500 and sometimes 2000

Works for solid colors, but another coat is required with metallic colors obviously.. never really seen any need for it other than the possible dirt nib here and there.
