Wet the floor down real good. I wouldnt use plastic on the floor.
The part about the you burning through too easily, i would only go over the edges with 2500 or 3000 very lightly. I am wondering if you went too fast with the gun and didn't lay down enough paint and clear. On that size car, with 4 coats of clear mixing 4 to 1 I think you would have used up most of the contents of each.
What brand of clear and paint are you using?
I also do not like single stage.urethane, it would dull off after about a year or two. Stick with BC/CC.
If you are going to paint the whole car again, block it out with 800 wet.

Today urethanes ( Quality paint like ICI Nexa) .....would not dull....your thinking of the old DuPont Centauri from the 80’s ...trust me.
