Default another paint question

Hi Guys,
I purchashed an older pattern planes from my friend this last summer and I wanted to re-paint the model. It has some dings and nicks that I filled with bondo and now I am re-sandind those spots. I never did much painting , just cowlings and little things like that. But back to the plane, it has a fiberglass fuse and sheeted wings and stab. It dos`nt look like the wood sheeted wood was glassed , just primed and painted. I have some left-over cans of Ultra-cote and wanted to use it. Do I wet sand between cotes, how many cotes of paint, and what grit sand paper would you recommend? I do not have a air compresser or any painting equipment, so I was going to try with the canned paint. I heard that you can get good results even from a can? I just need some direction on where to start and what perperation I need to make. Any suggestions would be a great help. Thanks in advance.

regards,
Frank
