Just a quick update, I laid 2 coats on the body last week - badly...

Its textured! I'm clearly doing something wrong and I think the issue I'm having with the finish is looking down to not doing a thorough job of cleaning the gun!

I've tried to flat it but it's that bad I'm literally taking off these new coats- not ideal!

Its been in soak for 24 hrs I'm finding more in areas that I've missed as I saw remnants of primer! I'm not entirely sure if this I'd sll of my issues but given I'm now out of paint I'm considering my options- do I carry on given the mistakes I've made already or do I concede and have someone fix the paint and apply clear coat giving me a better finish.

Sorry for the rant but I'm not sure what to do?

Car looks great, interior looks really sharp.
