Looks pretty good! You could have spent a little more time on the masking. You've got some squiggly paint lines in that groove. Other than that it's pretty good. It does look a little semi-gloss tho. Did you wet sand and then buff after the final coat of clear? Did you clear it? I have to re-finish my WHOLE rear bumper so it's gonna get the CETA treatment before I clear the whole bumper. Just another thread to motivate me to get to work!....not now...I'll stop procrastinating later.
