I'm about ready to put the color coat on the hood of my pastel green 1950 VW beetle. After 20 years of searching, I finally found a correct hood for the car.

I bought a few cans of single stage rattle can paint from a company called Temple. They are the best source for good color matches, but they only sell their paint in rattle cans.

I painted the inside of the hood and the color match looks very good. The finish is pretty good, but it needs to be shinier on the outside.

So what's the process?

Just keep adding coats until I run out, only waiting for flash times between coats and therefore no sanding between coats?

Wet sanding/buffing: What series of sandpaper grits before buffing?
