[QUOTE="crjackson, post: 16379428, member: 197502"] Not really happy with my final result right now. It was looking absolutely terrific and then 2 big splotches of birdshit dropped right on top while I was finishing the clear. It was hard enough with the wind blowing (that alone put some specks in it) but then the birds crapped on it and well, I did my best to clean it up. :( I suppose I could wait a few days for the clear to cure, the buy another can, but honestly, I wish a body shop would just put the final coat on to avoid the mishaps. I was really hoping for a better final result. Even though I managed to clean it off and continue spraying, now I'm concerned about bonding and delimitation in that area. To be honest, I've painted a few cars in my time using urethane enamels, but the last one was over 40 years ago. I used proper spray equipment and a clean spray booth. There is no comparison to painting with rattle cans on a windy day with birds lending a hand to the process. In fact, I don't recall ever painting anything with rattle cans before. Horrible spray pattern. I guess I'm going to do a light sanding of the clear in a few days and try again, but I'm not entirely hopeful it will be any better. I just don't have a good place to work.
