Marq, you're darn right about the gloss. This brightside has a gloss that really jumps out at you. It looks like a BC/CC job to me (with plenty of orange peel in the CC). It looks WET, and is actually dry. That's NICE! I realize it's not going to keep this gloss forever, but it's already surpassed any rustoleum I've done in terms of gloss. You can see sprayed on (rechargeable can) rustoleum in the engine bay of this pic.



Regarding the texture, it's nothing I have not seen in your paint or Aussiedriver's paint, just typical orange peel that should wetsand out.

As for subsequent paint, I am aiming for 1 more coat. I can go over this with 800 grit to get it smooth, then use a bit more mineral spirits and lay down a hopefully smoother coat my next time. It might take 2 more coats. The color has already seemingly covered 100%, so 2 coats total should be enough, but I want there to be enough extra paint to wetsand it down smooth before polishing.. so maybe 2 more medium/thin coats at most.
