I am doing a Bugeye and am thinking of just sanding it with a DA sander down 
to 60 grit.  After the plastic filler work I shoot a acid etching primer - 
then I shoot two coats of a high fill primer, each one sanded with the final 
coat 
sanded down to 400 grit.  Then I shoot the base coat and follow with the 
clear.  The clear gets sanded with 800 - 1000 - 1500 - 2000 - 2500 grit in that 
order and then it is buffed in three stages.  

All House of Colour products.  I shoot the primer coats with a 1.7 needle and 
the clears and base with a 1.4.  A seperate gun is dedicated for the clear 
coat.  

Lots of work - buck heck, it is a small car. .  not that much surface space!
