OMG that looks fantastic, great job! I saw a new Camaro in that color the other day, really jumps out at you. Yours will be a real head turner.

Personally I was thinking it would look really nice with the 'Twist' wheels that were on it as these would suit the more modern colour better than the ageing look of a set of Teledials, just my 2c.

Re cleared the whole car today with another 4 coats after sanding a lot off with the runs first time through. I waited 20 to 30 min between clear coats thius time and it did much better. NOT ONE RUN!!!!

Walk away from it for a few days or a week while it dries.

That's very impressive!
One question: When you spray over the panel gaps (e.g. between door and rear quarter), the paint does not go in there evenly; rather, it would leave some sort of rough surface texture. How would you make this even - is there enough clear coat to just sand and polish it?
