questions should I use 2000 grit sand paper wet sanding?

correct me if i am wrong.

1st sand the bumper down
2nd paint it bumper with 2-3 coat of factory paint I am using a spra can.
3rd Wet Sand it down with 2000 grit sandpaper.
4th Spray 2-3 coats of clear coat
5th Wait 4-6 hours then wax the car
yeah, you might want to consider doing primer first, but if you're just doing a spot? I dunno. Make sure you're waiting the specified drying time before you start sanding anything or dumping water on your brand new paintjob, otherwise you're just gonna get a handful of paint. Lastly, I don't think you actually want to *wax* your new paintjob. this sounds like a bad idea. yes, you can rub it out with compound, but nothing wax based.

p.s. good luck finding small amounts of 2000 grit sand paper. the finest grit I could find in small packages was 1500.

let us know how it turns out.
