I am going to fast forward aprox. two weeks from now

. We all have received our spoilers and moving to the next phase. We have " test fit " our spoilers and found out Joe did a great job and they fit great

. So now we have to get them painted. Some ( like me ) will do this themselves. So we order online or from local FLAPS the adhesion promoter, primer , paint and clear coat. What sandpaper grits do we use ? I'm thinking maybe 220 to start to knock down the sheen of the gelcoat then move to 800 and finish with maybe 1200 ? Clean the spoiler then hit it with adhesion promoter. Do you sand the promoter ? Then hit with two to three light coats of primer ? Sand and then 3 - 4 coats of color and several coats of clear ? Wet sand the clear and we are done ?
