You'll be right DB. It won't take long to sand it back and do some more coats with the correct paint. Anyway, I'm sure Ian would be happy to do all the sanding for you and he'll even get up real early to do it:wasntme:
so here are some pics of my not so great bonnet :D
before: you can see the fade area in the middle

Years ago (even some times now) they paint cars with many laers of paint with a brush and then got to work as I mentioned above until they had the desired finish and buffed it to gloss. Some of the best paint jobs seen on hotrods weredone like this.
