well I've been working on my trunk for about a week, and today I decided buff the paint surface with my Porter Cable. I let it dry for 2 days. The top coat is extremely thin. I used Meguiar's fine cut cleaner with an orange pad, and then did a ghetto polish with a microfiber towel and Optimum Polish. Below are pics of the half of the trunk I polished. Everything else is wetsanded with 2000 grit sandpaper.
This is a gloss black paint. I realized that it looks greyish because the paint mixture I have is too thin--the previous wetsanded layer was easily visible (the layers grey up when wetsanded). I will probably thicken up the paint mixture tomorrow, wetsand again, and put on a super duper thick final layer. then it's back to wetsanding, buffing, and polishing again.
Oh and below is a pic of my door that I painted over just to see how well this stuff sticks. I only wiped the dirt off the surface with my hands, then rolled the paint on. Was rolled on about 4 days ago. It cannot be scratched off at all, and the paint underneath it was still very smooth; Earl Scheib single stage paint job
