Those are basic run-throughs of the general procedures required. Let us know if you have any further questions and we'll help you out.
P.S.You may want to thin out the touch up paint with enamel thinner (if it's enamel paint of course) so you have more control on what you apply and to keep it from "blobbing" on too thickly. I usually pour a small amount of touch up paint into a cap and mix in a little thinner. Make sure you allow about 20 minutes to a half hour or so between coats, and let it dry overnight before you compound or polish it out flat.
