Body panel repair?

did it yesterday, will paint it on Sunday…

The place I bought the paint at says this aint true. You only need to add flex to the clear, not the base.
Have read the same all over the net. Base gets no flex, clear does.

Why take it somewhere whe I can screw it up myself?

Honestly, I look at this as a learning curve. If it turns out as good or better than it is now, I learned I can do something else. If it turns out to be total crap, I will buy a new one, and I have learned that I cant paint. either way it becomes a $200.00 learning class for me.
