flow coating is the term. looks like you went through the effort a couple of times andrew! it has paid off mate, car looks great! you really do need a side shot profile of the car :)

just for the guys playing at home, if your painting a car in the shed at home the process used is a great way to deal with any imperfections mainly being dust/dirt. once the layer of paint is layed down, as an added precaution if you hit a couple of layers of clear over the top...come settled, just buff the car so you knock back anything that did settle on top. not a process but ideal. keep cutting, clearing, cutting, buffing and it'll turn out like andrews cordia glass cup lol

what products did you end up using??
