I don't think you mentioned what clear you are using, but if its Universal Clear, 1.4 is perfect actually. Like Don said, read the tech sheet thoroughly. It can be a little tricky to spray, and the tech sheet will give you lots of pointers. I actually like your idea of doing the hood first. You will be able to see how it behaves on a horizontal surface before you do a vertical surface. The big thing about the universal is how the tech sheet says to spray it "how you want it to look".. Which means spray it on wet so it looks like glass with no texture. Problem is its a fine line between that and having massive runs LOL. But on the other hand if you over correct and try to spray it light, which too light will typically have a slight texture to it, know that it wont level itself out as it flashes. You are going to have to just find that sweet spot between fluid delivery and travel speed and learn where you get the gloss, but not running it all over the floor, haha.
On the platform, thats cool they have an adjustable now. I have three of the ones below. Once you have them you will use them all the time. I bought mine after seeing my dads, when I was helping him on the house. I bought mine really for working under the hood on my 1 ton 4wd trucks, as I was tired of climbing up tires and standing on the bumper(and occasionally slipping off and bashing my shins in the process).
