    Only issue I see is that it's a gloss finish. I usually go for a matte finish, cuts the glare from the sun (or from the police spotlights)

    Was out of a spray gun but all I had was one with a 1.8 tip so has a little orange peel will be getting a 1.4 before I paint the whole car. Supercheap auto has a sale on there enamel paint so I thought why not my bonnet looks horrible with the faded paint and clear peeling. It's not a professional job but it turned out nice I'm pretty happy with it.

    Gday mate, if your clear is peeling your better of giving it a sand and either respray same colour and a clear coat finish if not do what I did and just sand and spray a colour of your choice I used dupli colour black enamel from Supercheap auto it drys with a nice shine without the need for clear coat. If you try rub back and apply clear over old clear you will have alot of imperfections, best to sand back and start over.
    Cheers
