Finally!!!
Will be using PPG base/clear
One thing I'm confused about is color sanding. I've read where some sand the paint and some only sand the clear. Which is correct?

Don't sand the base! Only the clear. The only reason to sand the base is if you have to fix a mistake and are going to re-spray.
Congrats on reaching the milestone!
Some sand the color and then sand the clear when using single stage and clear, but as mentioned, not with base clear.
You are correct. You usually don't clear single stage paint.
The biggest effect of sanding metallic paint, whether it's single stage or base, will be that you're knocking the tops off the metallic particles - this will change the look and may make it "splotchy".
Thanks Rick!
