The sealer coat is to keep the sand from wearing away. Basically encapsulates the sand. I wait overnite till the paint is dry enough to vacuum up the stray griptex that isnt adhered to the paint, and then spray the final.

Every other step you described sounds correct. Just make sure you use slower reducer and temps arent too high, the griptex wont adhere if the paint flashes off before you get it on there. Easy to do if you have a second person following you as you go with the other gun
