   Im sure you only sand between each different coat like primer, sand, primer sand, paint, sand etc but im not sure tbh theres no harm in sanding just more time consuming

   only give the top coat of lacquer a little rub down with 1500 grit then really polish up

   i dont get it, when you sand it cant you see the scratches, so its not entirely smooth?

    rodzd126,
    
    no because when sanding you use wet&dry (wet) so it smooths the surface and takes out any scratches or imperfections that was a big word lol.
