Damn. That really isn't bad for a DIY spray job.

Thanks! I definitely learned a lot. Next time, I'll block sand with guide coat. It was very stupid of me to not do that. I think I would have had a much, much better job had I done that. I basically rushed the job at the end. What I would give to back up 3 days. I have to keep in mind that it is a 12 year old car and it's got other signs of wear and tear. That said, I do feel regretful that I didn't take the time to properly sand.

There are some spots where the clear is not as thick as others. It's still a good covering in those spots. But, I would defintely pay closer attention and plan out a strategy. It's very easy to forget where you left off.

Overall the car looks decent, I suppose, in that it is all one color and fairly glossy. I'm having second thoughts about color sanding the clear coat. One, I don't want to run the risk of cutting into the base coat and two, it would only make the flaws in the base coat more pronounced.
