For me, I paint, then clearcoat, then compound, then add decals, then put in a display case. That's it.

Some others will paint, then wetsand, then paint, then coumpound, then decals and no clearcoat.

If your paint is metallic you must not sand or use compound on its final coat. Instead, apply the clearcoat and polish this with the compound.

Just do whichever method you feel comfortable and confident with. :)
