Wow, supernice! Rubbing out is the way to go to get a smooth "depthy" finish.

As to overspray on sides you're not working on, that's what I do: masking tape pieces of newspaper on all sides not being sprayed. I used to use shellac, too, but now am using Deft Sanding Sealer which also dries really fast and is completely compatible with the Deft lacquer. I use a couple of coats between the grain filler and the top lacquer coats. Shellac can go bad on you in the can and make a mess (had that happen and had to sand it all off) but the sanding sealer seems to last forever in the spray can. If you buy fresh shellac a couple of times a year it will probably be OK. Made out of bug exudings! Yummo!
