My first try at painting...
this is after base coat before wet sanding i believe
(not the best bondo job but it ooks alot better i think)
(has a little bondo there on the corner as well)
After the clear coat

Practice makes perfect and obviously your trying, considering that you have to do it on your spare time. Paint and body work takes patience! patience! patience! in order to get it down.
Heres a tip for you man, use a block sander on your body fill areas. Your best tool is your hand you can't get the body fill straight if you use air sanders, You can but it's a lot harder. I like to use 36 grit and then use putty to fill scratches before primer. Anyways Good luck to your future project's, maybe the T/A

i do custom highend body work for a living and ive painted a ton of cars,
There is no need to strip the car down to bare metal, your making so much more work for yourself, and i see you didnt Etch the bare metal before priming. If the car has original paint or even a good repaint or two over it, just scuff it down and shoot over it, if your changing colors just seal the whole care before laying down the new base
