I agree with what these guys are saying. You need the primer to have a "bite" for the paint, so skipping that was strike one. 3200 was definitely too much. I generally only use polishing kits if I have to get dust out of my paint, and even then, I tend to use nothing lower than 4000, otherwise, I just use polishing compound and wax, and that's over the clear coat. Assuming your paint is applied correctly, the compound should be abrasive enough to give you a nice shine. Just takes some patience.
