yepp.

More elbow grease. Umm, let’s see. May be off by a bit, but will still work…

- 300 grit the entire car, get rid of all deep scratches  
-primer  
-scuff primer, probably could use 300 again,600, or pads  
-paint light coats, leaving the previous coat tacky before another layer( not while still wet or completley dry), shouldnt be hard with the surface area of the car.  
-1k grit to level paint  
-clear  
-2k to level clear/get rid of orange peel  
-polish

I’m sure there is a more maticulous way to do it, but for a rattle can job, it will serve it’s purpose.
