The HVLP gun is good but the "125psi" compressor is questionable. What is the motor and tank size? HVLP guns use a lot of CFM to do their job and a small compressor is not going to keep up. I had to step up to a two stage compressor when I finally made the change to HVLP guns.
Make sure the regulater is out near the gun and that you have a good water/oil separater in the line.

Sanding the BC in a BC/CC system is not required. There is a spray window (usually 24 hrs) that you have to get the clear applied. Any longer and the base will have lost it's chemical tooth which helps the clear coat stick to it.
You should go to your paint retailer and pull the spec sheets on your paint. Read them, and please, use a VERY good respirator when you spray this shit... It will make you sick.
