Came home from the mall around 4AM Black Friday, put on the final coats of clear, then headed back out to Best Buy.
Other than me completely f***ing up one of the corners trying to blot something, it looks really good. I had to resand and respray the top left corner so the grille overall has about 8 coats of paint and 4 coats of clear. I drove back to Austin Sunday and it held up very well. (I'll try to add pics when I get a chance, i'm about to head into finals week)
From close up, you can kind of notice the lines where i had to resand and respray, but from anywhere beyond 2 feet away it looks great - especially considering it costs about $8 versus a few hundred from the dealership.
Thanks for the great write up!
My only recommendation is NOT to try and fix small things! Just spray smoothly and if there's a little mistake, leave it. Don't make it into a much bigger problem like I did.
