Im so pissed! All the hard work I did was wasted 
Color match is way off,.. And stupid flies sticked to my grill and bumper while the clear coat is still wet (letting it dry). 
Any suggestion what to do? --pls not painting the whole car

What was the result?
I know you had to have had more common sense than to paint a large car part outside.
With all the critters and flying crud in the air you are only asking for stuff to be attracted to it.
Silver has always been a hard color to paint and to match up.
I was thinking about doing this to my front bumper(taking it to a professional) and then adding some of that 3m clear bra stuff.

why would you ever do a clear bra? Color matching is pointless at that point as you can see there is a bra on the car. It protects from chips, but now you have a big coat of plastic standing out. Better off just using some higher quality paint and a tough clear coat all over.

Thanks for all the inputs guys! Here's the stuff that's been painted,..
By the way, after seeing the stuff installed on the car again, I know its not perfectly done, but I just realized that it beats having the nasty rock chips and scrapes (used to have license plate holes too). Also, I may add that the lip is now better than the previous paint which i payed for $190 at a professional auto paint shop
