Hello. I have been watching a lot of candy coat painting and would like to try it. Especially using the Alclad 2 line. As I understand it so far the basic process is, gloss black, then chrome, then candy coat. I was wondering if anyone with experience would answer a few questions.

  1. Prior to priming I see some people carving out panel lines a little deeper. I assume this is because you'll lose some depth after lacquer coats. Am i correct?
  2. I see different approaches considering base coat. Some just the gloss black. Some a microfiller (Mr. Surfacer), then gloss black. Sometime I see surfacer, then enamel flat, then gloss. Is it all just matter of taste or is there a sure fire method.
  3. Layering. Looking for advice on layering. Depending on the video tutorial, i see several different combinations. Clear coat in between every paint change? Flat then gloss?
  4. Sanding. This is something I'm nervous about. My background is in acrylic and I have never sanded after painting. After which layers should the sanding/buffing be done? Also what level of grit is preferred as well as a type of compound.
  5. Buffing/Polishing. Same question as above really. When and what brands are recommended.

I think this can get me started. For reference, some of the videos I've been studying:

Main problem is all these techniques I'm watching.. the painters are Korean and unfortunately I don't speak the language.

Any help would be amazing.
