I've mentioned a few times the sandpaper I found (MicroMesh). It is a great product and goes way beyond 1500 grit. Glass smooth finishes are possible following their technique.
David,

I'll have to try that, thanks. I haven't forgotten your post just seizing the moment since the weather promises only a few more days of 20 degree weather up here!

1500 grit works pretty well for flattening the paint. I have also sourced some 2000 grit for the clear coat. I'm considering shooting clear, sanding and re-shooting a week later if weather permits. The final coat will be 2000 wet sanded and polished back up. I'm tentatively planning to use a product like Nu Finish but we'll see how it performs on the CC. I'll be trying it on a test board.

David.
