[Mk1] trials of fixing paint

It’s been a bit of a nightmare after my initial attempt to reduce orange peel in the paint.
I think the car was painted or at least touched up by a previous owner. But I couldn’t tell initially if it had single or two stage paint.

Long story short hers where I’ve gotten to.
Looks like I missed cutting in a few places and went too far in others. So I guess I’ll have to touch up those spots and polish again.
After the last attempt at spray can clear coat I’m tempted not to try and add it on the patches.

Right now it’s a 20ft. Paint job.




Looks like a two stage paint. You cut through several layers on the RH wing , spot it then clear over. Get you a cheap Harbor Freight spray gun,forget using rattle can clear.
