Hi all,
I've built a custom computer case and have begun laying the paint. I'm using Rustoleum rattle cans, if it makes a difference. Anyway, the case is going to be black with a clear coat which I will wetsand and polish to a high gloss. My question is whether or not I should sand the black color coat before applying the clear? The color coat has some pretty noticeable orange peel, and I'm not sure if this is going to translate through the clear even after the clear coat is perfectly smooth and glossy. I'm attaching a few photos showing the level of the orange peel. These pictures are from fairly close up, but I can take more from farther away if it helps.
Thanks,
Jack
