I'm doing the Berger panel on my car as we speak.

I've already done all the sanding, primeing, and have laid down my first coat of gloss black.

Heres my question: Should I wetsand with 1200grit betwen coats, after the final coat, or not at all?

I really want this to come out good, I'd really love to have no "orangepeal".

Thanks-

Primer needs to be sanded to 400 grit.

Dont sand between coats, apply 2 light coats first like 15 minutes apart then your heavy coats 15 minutes apart. Lightly wetsand with 1200, or preferably higher (1500, 2000) when it's good and dry. Get a bottle of "rubbing compound" and rub it with a 100% cotton (soft) towel and it will shine like show paint.

The key is not to get any drips, and not sanding through the paint.

I'd practice on something else before I painted on my car so you know how much to wetsand.

Just to let you guys know, primer is for filling purpose only. Its a waisted step unless you have scratches or repairs to the panel. Even then you only need to prime the repaired erea, not the whole panel.
