Make sure to sand lightly, clean all the dust off then prime well lightly sand again with a very fine wet'n'dry paper. Allow to dry over night is best then apply the last coat (White) then Lacyer to really give the last coat a shine.
You dont have to sand, but you will get a slightly textured finish which is ok but it wont look as nice as a totolly smooth one

You can buy sheets of sandpaper & wet&dry paper in halfrauds too!
EDIT: 3 and 3 and 3 and you should see no problems, keep the coats thin though, thats the trick!

i just used, 1200 grit paper - gave them a good rub down, primered them 3 times, painted them white with just normal white paint (as in like tin can multi purpose paint - not a car make one), then lacquered 3 times.
Was an easy job. Would leave the lacquer for a good 5 days after the last coat. Mine has gone all manky on one of the badges so going to do it again. Look good when there done aswell

leave the laquer and paint to harden for a good week too, unless you want your fingerprints left into the finish
