Nice Job! How many coats did you do in total?

i hear A LOT of talk about how many coats everyone did. IMO - it doesn't really matter, when you wetsand, you're pretty much sanding down most of the coat, when you've finished, you think you have around 8coats but you've pretty much wetsanded most of those coats - in the end, you pretty have 3-4 coats on there total.

everyone will do a different amount of coats, everyone has their own technique. when i was rolling, i did about 7coats on my rear bumper (wetsanding in between each coat) - when i did my final coat, i accidentally chipped a piece of the paint off and it was really thin - nothing like 7 coats.

after doing this, i recommend you do about 3 layers with no wetsanding, then wetsand on your 4th coat, if there's not full coverage, do a couple more layers and try again. all of the orange peel is taken care of on your final wetsand of 1000/1500/2000.
