A question for some of you painting "veterans" out there:

I spray painted an area on the front driver's side quarter panel of my 90 760T (about the size of a baseball glove)that had some flaking paint (appareently from some body work and repainting prior to my ownership.

The paint was the infamous metallic beige #400 with clearcoat. My questions are:

1) How many coats of each (color coat and clear)

2) What is the best method of final blending the new clearcoat with the old?

(IE: Polishing compound, polish, etc., etc.,

MANY thanks in advance.
