best steps for three foot deep paint job

[chris mc bride]

Ok maybe little carried away with the 3' deep thing a 1.5' deep will work. I'm wondering whats the best approach geting the paint joc to have depth look that makes you think you could fall in and swim. I saw a segmant on Muscle car tv cpl weeks ago where he kept adding another coat of clear and had some color mixed in to make it look deeper. Unforunatley I didn't get to catch all of it for some reason.
How many coats of clear can you get on with out problems after it sets up and what would make it look super deep and have crystal clear reflection. I figure I'll be spending cpl days color sanding and buffing when finished and know thaty helps with the reflection part.I've done that before with good results.
Also any tips on most durable clears or any to avoid would be great too. Thanks guys always get plenty advice here.
