i also went 5-6 coats of clear too if it looks bad idk hard to say without being right there to see, but if you still in time frame of coats i would do another just for the fact of having to color sand a problem out

FC you know i'm a big fan of silver paint, it looks very nice, but was the factory paint no good anymore? I'm just curious why go through all the trouble to repaint a silver car silver?
side note, a "professional" painter did my car, your paint looks way better then mine, at least your fenders and hood and doors all match
