Buffing plastic

[probuilder1]

I just colormatched my door handles and bezels and I used dupli color spray paint and clear, it turned out good for my first time but now I want to get a better shine out of the clear, now I dont have a buffer or anything but what is my next step to making these shine. Thanks

Color sand by hand and 3 stage buff by hand or with a variable speed dremel.

Sorry not very knowlegeble about paint and prep work but what is the 3 stage buff process.

Start with like a medium grade buff pad and buffing compound, then move to a fine pad and compound, then to an ultra fine compound and pad. That should get the luster you are looking for. then research a wax that is for painted plastic.
