Before I apply the basecoat, would it be a good idea to sand down the base coat after a couple layers? Or just apply the clear coat on top and sand that? I have been sanding down the primer with 600grit, should I start a lighter paper too?

just wipe down over spray with tac cloth after every coat drys. some high quality paints wont have any overspray.

i use 600grit to wet sand primer and 1000 for paint and clearcoat and comes out perfect everytime.
and you wet sand with no less than 1000 grit paper, and if you do get a run you have two options. 1 run it off the car, works great very hard to do. 2 let it dryand sand it out.

otherwise than that your gonna need more basecoat on there.wetsand that base out with 1500 or so and try again. also see if u cant adjust your gun better as well.
it looks like your pattern is not pefect. can you just hold the gun straight and shot some paper wothout moving the gun. then set it up it makes it easier.
