short answer, yes.

id probably start sanding with 1200 or 1500 instead though, and end with 2000 or 2500 before starting to polish it out. As long as you have enough coats of color on there you should be ok.

let it sit a while though, Synthetic enamels need some time to cure before cutting into them.

There was this synthetic paint coating we all used back in the 90 called the FTZ2000. It's got a really good endurance reports.
