Yes, i would recommend it, sometimes primer leaves a rough surface

Good guide just a quick wat of how i did mine...
Sand down with 240 dry , fill where needed then sand with 320 dry then 500 wet ( Using a gradient of paper wet usualy doubles the grain (less gradient) )
then i use filler primer and use guide coat powder so i know where i have sanded and i just use 320 wet and 500 wet to smooth and shape it.
then just the usual spray and sand inbetween coats.

Just a quick addition - you need to sand the primer if you have allowed it to dry, so something like p600-p800 wet and dry would be suitable.
also you shouldn't really be leaving the colour any longer than 6 hours before clear coating.
not doing either of those will lead to paint peeling at the 1st opportunity
other than that its a good diy guide

do you apply the laquer in thin coats too? i found when painting plastic that it would look a little blotchey unless you put it on in thick coats.
But will it be the same with alloys?

Is that per wheel or would I be able to do 4 with that?
