 Subject: Step by step help need in Clear Coating

Message:
OK guys I have sanded my fiberglass/interior pieces down.
I used adhesion promoter, primer where I could and flexible primer where I needed to.
I wet sanded down the primer with 400 grit.
I sprayed my base color, then wet sanded with 800 grit
Now I may be completely wrong in these steps, but I hope I was close to what a painter who knows what the heck he is doing would have done.
So "I" think I am ready for clear coat.
Now could someone help me with the step by step of what to do?
Do I want to sand in between coats of clear? or just lay what 4-5 coats down?
Should I use low luster, satin, or high gloss? I would like it to look kind of like the exterior paint, but I would prefer more durability over the high shine.
What products do you recommend to polish the clear coat?
Where would I get these products?
Can I use an orbital buffer from Home depot/Menard's/Loews?
I know it is a lot of questions, but i thank you for you help.

first after you spray your base coat or you color you DO NOT SAND IT just spray the clear on within 20 min- 24 hrs max if you pass this ponit resand a spray color again. I wait about 1 hour and then mix my clear i spray a mist on it for a tact coat wait 10 min for it to flash and then spray my first coat wait for it to flash about 10 min DO NOT SAND CLEAR WHEN U R DONE let dry 1 to 2 days put it in the hot sun well help but after 12 hrs and use one gun for color one for clear and i use urathene products from PPG
