Best of luck painting.
If you've got some sheet metal or a spare panel, use it for setting up the gun and test paint.

prep is everything. Sand, clean, tape, clean.

Practice to get a good quality even application. Dry patches or runs must be let dry before rubbing back and re spray.

If doing this outside, give it a good 5 coats of clear, should you need to buff anything out.

Don't let the paint dry between coats; colour, pearl or clear.

If the paint has dried. Rub it back before applying more coats.

Planning and prep is everything :D
