1. no - I cleaned my tails very well, then just started spraying.
2. 3-4 coats of metalcast. Yes, thin coats, take your time, and go until you have reached the desired darkness of color.
3. I only sanded in between the metalcast coats when I needed to (ex. if dirt/dust/hair got on the coat). I did NOT sand on the last coat of metalcast. The last coat was sprayed, let dry, then went into clearing.
4. I did not use the whole can of spraymax. I did 4-5 coats of clear (which was probably overkill but the can is useless after you mix it after 24hrs). Same process as the metalcast. Light layers, if you spray it on too heavy you will get run marks.
Hope this helps!

For #1, I disagree with this. I painted a piece of plastic before without sanding it, the paint peeled after a few months. There has to be something rough for the paint to grip on.
For #3, tack clothes can be used to get dust off freshly-painted surfaces.
