Great job, what do you mean the paint isn't as good as oem - what did you notice was different?

Thanks! Because I didn't sand enough the metallic flake didn't settle uniformly. In certain lighting, you can see the rougher texture. The metallic isn't completely uniform across all panels of the car. I think my spraying is not bad and if I'd had a truly smooth surface, it would have been more uniform and 'flatter', less peel effect. The primer went on quite peely and despite a fair bit of sanding - and it feeling smooth to the touch - it resulted in a somewhat textured base coat in areas.
