Re: rookie!!!!!!
Paint the base color until "hand slick" another words test the masking paper to make sure it's dry to the touch. 2-3 coats is probably a good starting point but remember to have enough coverage so primer doesn't shine through to the base color. Cheaper paint may take more coat/s for proper coverage. You will be putting on wet clear coats and most likely you will add activator to the clear for the most shine and durability, basically how new cars are painted.
I like to clear single stage for a nice buffer coat to save the solid base color, but it does cost more. Nics and scratches have to get through the clear before they can get to the solid color so i think it looks better longer.
Hold out for more pro guys to chime in here, martinsr, and hugger6969, are real good with advise and been at it for a while now and specific product knowledge is priceless.
