Here is a close up,


I just painted the bonnet white, and didn't thin the pain at all, i think it came out much better. I did put alot more effort into the prep work this time though

1st coat unsanded.



Those both look pretty good. I'd say one more coat and then wetsand and buff on the red. Put your last coat on unthinned and see how that goes, the thicker the coat the more gloss you will have. The disadvantage to thick coats is orangepeel which is solved by wetsanding and buffing if you can.
