Having never used any powered tool on my black metallic paint, I was wondering how would one properly learn how to use it?

I guess I would also need to learn to strip paint sealant, clay, etc to complete the process
YouTube is your friend for teaching about paint correction.

The hard part is learning not to correct your paint to death. Remember correction is a repair of the surface which removes part of the clear coat. If you have all the tools and cut your paint all the time you will be on your way to the body shop in a few months.

So practice on other people's car and learn the craft before you do your Porsche, get it right the first time!
