Use a primer, use a colour, and use a clear top coat (is my advice, but depends what finish you're looking for). The key is to build up multiple light 'mist' coats rather than try and spray on a single thicker coat. I think I did 20-30 in total with occasional light sanding in between to remove any foreign bodies. Building up a decent thickness of clear is important so that you have enough to sand back smooth before polishing without going through to the colour coats.
The top is, er, a mirror! The back and sides are Halfords Audi Silver.
I get the local supplier of paint to car repairers to mix the colour I want in 1k Cellulose, they mix cans all day every day, you would be amazed at the amount of pro car repairs finished with a rattle can, it makes sense as if its only a small area, they can only buy non aerosol in a minimum 1 litre can and therefore most would go to waste…
No need for clear coat, much better quality paint and a better paint to thinners ratio, so you need less cans, I can do a guitar body with one can
