not sure it's going to flatten and polish either..

what was it paited with and how many coats?

it looks very dry and you can actually see the gun strokes in some pics..

i aint complaining, as my paint job is not the best by far..

next weekend i will see what the outcome is. there is good thick coat of paint on the car and flattening it down and plish will bring it. the pics really dont do the car much justice it is shiney outside.
