The car looks good man. Yeah good thing you got a right clear here. At the shop this guy was trying to be cheap and got single stage and then cleared over it... Well the clear he got was different and cheaper than what he should have used and the activator and all was different than the activator for the single stage... In short, the two didn't go along too well and it alligator skinned all over the place... Had to strip it down and repaint it again with the RIGHT clear... Of course the painter got blamed for that... If you did want a show looking paint job for a darker color especially (now some may or may not agree with this but every painter is differnet) you can put your three coats of clear on, wet sand it down with about 600-800 grit and then put another 2 or 3 coats back on... That will give your job and DEEP look and gloss. If anyone on here knows or follows along on Barry's site on SPI (Souther Polyurethanes), he describes this and why it's done and how it helps. Pretty interesting and works too.
I guess that's beside the point though and plus you got the car done already.
Great job!
