I am currently repainting my sho it started with just the back wheel well but after spraying it with fresh paint I could see how faded my paint really was. SO I am doing acrylic enamel single stage paint, When I am spraying it it looks good but there is some overspray on parts that I have already painted and there is flat spots in the paint it will be shiny one spot then dull in the other. I think I can just color sand it with 2000 or 3000 grit paper and then buff it I have to do this anyways because I have quite a few runs cuz im a 19 year old that is on a really tight budget. Your input would definatley be appreciated.

If you used a solid color you can sand and buff as much as able to. If its metallic it will look different in the areas sanded and buffed. As far as the runs i would recomend shaving them with a razor blade perpendicular to the panel and scrape it flat. Sand out razor blade marks buff.

What do you recommend sanding with what grit? Also If I am going to wet sand and buff which I will probably do if I sand and buff the entire car it should all look the same right

2K for wet sanding,then buff out with a good compound and buffer.

Why did you want to use acrylic enamel?
Urethane single stage is much better for automotive use.
