Default New SLP SS grill

I purchased a SLP Grille a couple of months ago and finally got the paint colors i wanted. I painted it the color of the car NBM then came back and masked the center piece which most leave black and paint the agray color to match my rims. then wetsanded it with 1500 and sprayed the clear.

Let me know what everyone thinks I still need to wetsand the clear I was planning on doing that with 1500 again or should i go higher. hope to get some pictures of it on the car next weekend and will add the emblem when it gets here in a few weeks.
