Yes you will learn alot and come to understand that there's much more to it than meets the eye.
For my 2 cents....
1. Sand with 320 or higher before painting, easier to correct the problems below the paint than fill in and try to correct it on top.
2. Extended time to dry and between coats is for paint to dry and harden.
3. Buy a bruffer for final stage (your arms will fall off if you try and do it by hand.)
4. Hard work will pay off. Just using some DP 7, improved overall paint job before doing any repainting.
