That seems to be the case with my car! I have just put on the 4th coat, and it's still partially see through where there is light/dark contrast color underneath. I will do the normal wetsanding every 2 coats till it's totally solid color, then do one more coat before final wetsand and polish.
It is getting redder and shinier though, it's nice to see.
Yep, mine's looking about the same after coat #4 (except yellow, obviously). A couple of places where I wetsanded pretty heavily have a little bit of a darker tone from the maroon original paint, but it's definitely getting there. We'll see if 6 coats do it; if not I'll go for 8.
Also learned today that the fender on my Merk is spot welded; so much for my plan to pull it off and pound out the shallow dent from the inside. Guess it's slide hammer time, unless somebody has a better idea.
