Hey guys I finally got my car all sanded and straightened out and have picked up my painting supplies. However I have never used this type of paint before and have a few questions regarding it.

Here is what I bought and the specs from each can:

~ Omni AU MBC Basecoat
1 MBC : 1 MR series reducers
2-3 cts
20 min (24 hours max)
OB10

~ Omni Medium Reducer
MR186

~ Omni AU High solids Urethane clear
MC161
2 MC161 : 1 MH167/MH168/MH169
2-3 cts.
12 hours @70F / 30 min @ 140F
OB2

~ Omni AU Fast Topcoat Hardener
MH167

~ Omni 1K Primer Surfacer
MP181
1MP181 : 1 MR
1MP181 : 1 MS250
2-4 cts.
OB7

~ Omni Compliant Solvent
MS250

Anyway the paint I usually use is premixed and this is my first time having to mix and reduce and add hardener etc. So what I am hoping for is someone who is familiar with this stuff kind of give me a quick run down of the steps I will have to go through here using these materials, and what goes with what. Am I supposed to mix the primer with reducer and solvent, And basecoat with just reducer, and the hardener is for the clear?

Also as far as surface preparation for this paint, right now the whole car is sanded down to basecoat and or factory primer with 340 grit. should I sand smoother? coarser?

Should I sand between coats of primer? what about basecoat? should I not sand the last layer of primer and not sand the last layer of basecoat?

Whew... long thread. sorry about all the questions I've been reading tons on it and searching but everyone seems to say different things and I was kinda hoping for an opinion on this type of paint specifically. Oh by the way I have painted before just not with this type of stuff. I used to get my paint from some website however it turned out to be way to expensive for the quantity I ordered for this project so I went to a local store to get it.

Anyway thanks alot guys I'm really glad i'm finally getting this stuff wrapped up, i've been doing body work on it all summer in my spare time.

alright well I guess nobody knows. I would have taken even general tips not pertaining to the exact paint type. Anyway maybe someone could just clear up my questions on sanding the primer and basecoat and the question about using reducer and solvent in the primer?
