I’ve sprayed clear colours and they went flat. Saved it with a clear coat and you’d never know

I know what I did with this one and stuffed the paint I rush to get clear coat on and think I had way to much pearl power in, Them I did a dummy spit and should of left it alone but I repainted it and put to thick of a coat on and to wet, So now I will remove paint and start again and not rush it, It maybe awhile before I get to it as wet weather is moving in for while.
You think one would of learnt by now to not rush painting.Ah NO rofl

Thats why I dont do metallics very often.
Can be hit and miss getting it the base and clear applied just right to get a nice finish without wet sanding and polishing.
The joys of painting the car body :lol: we all have our moments.
