I tried an area on my hood with the paint thinned roughly 60/40 and it went down much better than the last try, looks like a thin spray job minimal orange peel, pretty smooth. The only thing is I rushed my crappy body work in a few areas after sanding off my first attempt and scratch marks are easily visible in the paint from some of 220 grit paper I used. I'm wondering will the paint be able to "fill" these or should I go back and be more thorough with 400 or so. I just wish I didn't mess up the first time it would have been alot less work.
