Finishing off painting

[Mworm1974[TK]]

Hi all, 

 

i have primed, painted and finished with a gloss coat using acrylic paint (spray/rattle cans) and I just need some advice on finishing it off to get a high gloss finish. So far I have used 1200 grit and polish which has produced a good shine but I think it can be better. Should I finish it off with 2000 grit?

 

any advice would be awesome

Really depends how many coats of clear you have applied as to how much you can sand, definitely use water and add a little dish washing liquid, helps the paper to glide a little easier and slows clogging. I did sand and polish some of mine but a lot didn't need it I was lucky I got a nice shine of the gun, but I only used 1200 sandpaper and a course buffing compound followed by a smoother compound and novus polish to do the final hand polish. In the auto trade we did finish with 2000 which gave you a slightly better shine but for armor personally I wouldn't bother.
