If prepping my car is anything to go by Mark, I rubbed the hole car down with 280, then primed it
The primer was then flattened off with 400 before the top coat, finally the top coat was flattened
with 1200, then G3 and then polished to a beautiful shine

Don't think that would be possible when powdercoating.
