Thanks CobraDan,

The rough texture wasn't as bad as my sleep deprived mind said it was. Mostly it was overspray and was limited to the top surfaces. A spray bottle and a few sheets of 2000 grit paper took care of it. I let the paper due the work and didn't apply hardly any pressure.


I had one run right next to my tailight and wetsanded it out with 1500 grit. Then I loaded my spraygun and upped the pressure. It worked great, and I liked the results better than my first couple of coats! I have enough to give the car one more coat so I may do that this afternoon and see if I can improve my base coat finish.

I'm thinking I may do the stripes tomorrow, lol
