Almost done painting my waterfall, one small problem though?
Im using FLEAs method to paint my waterfall, ive sanded it down, and really scratched it up, evened it out with 1000 grit and have applied the primer and the black spray paint now after waiting 2-3 hours for it to dry, I tried to sand/wetsand it with 2000 grit sandpaper. Problem is, the corners or curves and alot of other random areas and looking black and looks faded compared to other areas, I smoothed everything out and just applied another coat of black just to make it more black, do I need to wait a little longer to use the 2000 grit? Or should I apply the clear coat in its 3-4 coats and then wait til the morning then sand it down? I dont want to however apply the clearcoat then sand down tomorrow and then the black fades again, I would have to apply another coat of black. I dont necesarrily want it really shiny, if anything I would like the matte black look, but regardless I want it smooth and will apply the wax and stuff after. Thanks.

When you wet sand it it is cutting intothe corners.......no worries........put about 3 coats of primer on with in say 20 minutes of each other and let it dry for a hour.......put another coat on after wet sanding with 2000 and then clean and paint it..
