can you give me a step-by-step on painting a car?

before anything, remove door handles, tailights, headlights, scoops, mirrors, etc.
1. use a DA (dual action) sander with 320 grit to get down to the primer (or deeper)
2. go back over it with 600 to smooth it out
3. wetsand it with 600 and make it smooth as a m'fer
4. wipe it down with lacquer thinner and get it completely clean
5. tape everything off (windows)
6. wipe it down again with lacquer thinner
7. prime it and give it a day to dry
8. wetsand with 600 to get rid of any drips and to make sure it's nice and smooth
9. base and clear
