well basically I need a quick guide on how to achieve the best finish on a spray job I've got ma primer, paint, and clear laquer and its for metal if that makes a difference ive read about people saying rubbing down and stuff but does that mean sanding or what? 
Thanks in advance EDIT: Oh and another thing, i've bought grey Zinc rust protecting primer or something? will that work I will be spraying silver |

what you painting? rubbing down sanding..same thing i usually get a 700 or 800 grit paper, rub it down, clean it off with a tac rag or a cloth, give it a coat of primer, rub that down after its dry, see if it needs another coat, then give a couple of coats of your paint at about a 25-30cm distance, its a good idea to warm the cans up in a sink of hot water. when the paint it dry if its a metallic its quite important to key the surface of the paint with a 1200 or 1300 grit.tac rag again. heat your lacquer in the sink and give it a couple of even coats. thats my method, should come out nice and glossy
