Ill try to have some pictures up tommorow after the clear drys and i wetsand it and buff it.

im not sure if its going to look too good. the duplicolor exact match auto paint seems like a close match but i donno if i used enough. and the clearcoat dosent look as i would have imagined it. but hey we will wet sand it tommorow and see how close it really is.

Definatly alot harder to paint a panel then do the whole thing. Not sure how you even match up the gloss of the clear.

yea. Ohh well i dont think it can look any worse then it did with no clearcoat left and wax/buffing stains in the paint lol. but i need to get the whole car painted eventually.

i was just bored. on my day off haha. which tommorow in the final results i will post up how it turns out in the end.

it seems exreamly hazy and its not smooth at all.

does that seem normal?

it should smooth out and get the glossy look after wet sanding and what not?

Wet sanding will make it hazy and actually look like primer. It won't look good again til you buff it out with a polisher and various compounds.

here are some pictures. the first clearcoat i got was in little cans and thats why it looked like crap. i got a large can well 4 of them and it didnt turn out to bad at all. check it out. ill put more pics up in a couple days after it fully drys and i wetsand and polish it up.

not bad for a rattle can jub but it would look alot better with a gun!

Well here it is sofar. after wetsanding it the compounds and scratch polish did get all the wetsand scratches out. probably becuase i was trying to buff by hand ill get my buddys buffer tommorow and redo it with the real deal. but it dont look to bad.

opinions?

comments?

Yea it needs a real paint job lol.
