Re: If you had a junk car to practice on?..
When I was first starting to do more than an old fashioned wax I went around to several local body shops and asked them if they had any hood that were going to the junk yard. And i was able to get a couple of black hoods that were only destroyed on on half.
I tried everything on them. Rotary, with and without wool, wet and dry sanding. Even painting with Walmart products. Learned what works and what doesn't. Found out pretty quick that I better practice with the rotary before I do any real cars.
I even tried to teach myself to beat out the tin. It actually would have looked OK if you don't mind too much Bondo.

LSP durability.
Different LSP, different climate performance

Re: If you had a junk car to practice on?..
I think I would give it an intensive wash, clay, Iron treatment etc.
Then I would pull out the rotary, wool, and compound and start from there. The reason I say pull out the rotary is so you can get a good feel on how a rotary behaves and not worry about jacking up the paint in this scenario.
