anyone ever paint a car?

im about to paint my car and i was wondering if anyone had any tips for me? i have done small projects before, but this will be my first full car. these are the steps i plan on taking:
-sand the original paint.
-primer coat
-600 wet sand

-color coat

-clear coat
-1500 wet
-clear coat

anyone know if this will be sufficient, or if any of the steps are not necessary? i will be doing this in my garage, should i staple a tarp to the ceiling/walls to keep out dust?
