Thanks. It actually looks great from about 15 feet away. From 3 feet away it is pretty obvious that I shot it will rattle cans (lots of orange peel). I had an issue with shooting the clear too soon on the hood and it reacted with the base coat, so I had to sand the whole hood down and start again. In doing so I really gouged the metal, so the hood has a lot of imperfections. I figured that it looks good enough for now for driving her around without it looking too bad.

I am currently shopping for an HVLP painting system and once I pick one up, I'll reshoot the bumper and hood (and probably replace the hood again, since they are only $65 for a new primed one).
