Before you start sliding down this glossy and slippery slope, I would recommend that you first have a discussion with the paint manufacturer's rep. Sanding inbetween color and clearcoat is not required or even beneficial. All of the prep work should completed before applying color. This means that ALL primed surfaces have been wetsanded (to your satisfaction) with 600 grit in preparation for paint. When the color is applied, probably two wet coats, it will have been enough to cover evenly and completely but with no drips.If he does "kick-ass stuff" as you say, he will insist on sanding and polishing as per my last email to you. If not, please take the time to look around for someone who will. Good luck!
