If I had to do it over with the knowledge I have now, I'd spray more base coat. The blue isn't as dark as it could be and some areas are slightly spotted IMO. Its worlds better than my worn out OEM paint. Scratches, full lengh key marks on both sides, mis-matched blues on the new door and front bumper, and new gel coated hood. 
I bought it in need of body repair cheap, everything else was great. This paint job was cheap and its TEMPORARY! Once I have time, i'm driving up to NY to get it painted right by my uncle.Thanks all

looks great man...doesnt it feel great to see your car and know you painted it??
I fixed up a cavalier I had for a winter car a few years ago and when I was done with all the body work I repainted it in my garage as well..hung tarps and plastic from the celing surrounding the car to keep dust away and to keep from getting overspray on things and painted away...car looked great when it was done, as does yours.
