Blahh… It’s unrepairable. No amount of wetstanding/buffing will fix that paint.
It was a completely budget paint and looked great when I first did it.
You’re gonna laugh. I actually went to walmart and got somewhere around 12 cans of primer, 12 cans of lacquer blue and 12 can’t of acrylic clear.
Lauquer paint works fine under the acrylic, but if you want to do a base clear touchup where you need colour then don’t put the lacquer on top of the colour. Worst thing you can do guaranteed.

Did it all in my garage at the cold end of fall with a heater. It was 10 - 12degrees celcius outside and probably around 15 inside.
Surprisingly it came out really good and held up for the first few months. I actually drove it every day that winter until March when I changed jobs and decided to get a true beater car (Audi CoupeGT)
All in all I had a crappy setup to begin with. I forced it through the harsh winter/salt/snow before it ever really cured. Didn’t treat it properly when I stopped driving it and that’s that.
Now I can actually afford to get a better paint job when I get it back up.

Lol, O’Snap?

I’m really feeling flat black for a reason… or something along the lines of satin-black… what color do you have in mind?
