    Looks very good! Thats the problem with the cheaper paints, thin and don't cover well, that is why I reccommend the better base. Are you using the Nason clear also? If you are not experienced sanding and buffing I would deffinately apply a 3rd coat, and since you are not (this is just my opinion) I would start with 1200 and go up to 2500 grit in stages, stay off the hard edges. It is just another thing to learn to get a feel for.
