After applying the basecoat at the proper air pressure and then the clear it really should not need to be sanded as it should look just like a new car coming out of the showroom, again if the clear came out dull you where not shooting with enough air pressure. If you want that really deep shine for the show circuit then you would get out the 2000 grit sandpaper and wet sand and then polish the surface to that brilliant shine but the surface would have already been shiny. With all your extra coats of base and clear your paint job is already too thick and if you didn’t apply the paint in the time constraints of the manufacturer for the best adhesion and later when the paint starts falling off down the line you will really wish you had bitten the bullet and paid for a professional paint job. After my paint job by myself I knew why other than the paints high cost, why a professional paint job with the enormous man hours invested and even more man hours as a none professional painter the prices quoted are so high. Since you would already have to sand for adhesion to re-paint I think you might be better off trying to save your original paint job.
