Andrew,

If I were you, and I am being 100% serious, go to a wreckers and ask them for an old panel off a car and prep, bog, prime, sand, paint, clear coat it before you get anywhere near your car.

Better to make mistakes on a panel that doesn't matter than on a real car.

It's worth the time for the end result

get yourself a long body file/sanding board so when rubbing back the bog you will hopefully wont have dips or ripples in the end result and remember a good paintjob is mostly in the preparation the better and more time you spend on preparing your car for paint the better the end result is likely to be.if your using metallic the whole car will have to be rubbed back with 600 grit paper before topcoat.
