Looks real nice, wait a month for the paint to fully harden and then buff her out and she will look even better!

no mark there are some spots that need to be redone but a cut and polish will help most of it when you see it youll know what i mean

Actually the best way to cut and buff a clear coat is after 12 hours but before 24-36 hrs. Once that urethane cures its a PITA! While it is still some what soft is the ideal time. No wax for at least 30 days! The paint will still be out gassing and you dont want to end up with a bunch of solvent pop.

I saw in person yesterday and it sure does look nice! Again good job with it Alex. A good polish would improve it, but its way better than the first anything I sprayed!

looks very nice, i am noticing what looks like a little orange peel up by the turn indicator but yea a good cut and polish will work wonders unless its much worse than the picture dictates. very nice job and black to boot. for a first time spray job you did really good
Have I mentioned the love /hate relationship I have with my wife's cars

Just need to do some wet sanding to knock down that orange peel and buff it, your good to go

actually after seeing the bird in person the picture doesn't do the actual paint job justice. what i thought was orange peel was extremely small compared to the pic and barely noticeable.... honestly i am even more impressed by the job as whole after seeing it. well done alex
