So Tinypic wouldn't let me upload pics the other night, but I got the car cleared on Wednesday! Four coats, and it's definitely shiny. It's also orange-peely as all hell; the p-sheet said to lay it down slick, but when I adjusted the gun to lay it down that heavy on my test sheets, it ran like crazy. Hopefully I've got enough depth on there to wetsand the living crap out of it, because it's going to need it. Aside from the texture issues, I think it turned out pretty well. Not real happy with my masking lines in the jambs, but I guess that comes with practice. Those will need some touch-up in a big way.

Had a little base left over last coat so it went on the hood:
