Providing you have put on enough clear or single stage you can achieve results like this with some patience and elbow grease. I put four coats of clear on this car. Then I wet sanded flat with 800 grit. After it was flat I went through the stages and sanded it with 1500, 2500 then 3000 and buffed it to look like a mirror.

It is long process but the results are amazing. Anyone can do this it is merely practice.

I just sprayed my bug with clearcoat. It looks pretty good! 2 coats, but there is a part of the door and back by the quarter panel that I notice a slight bit of orange peel.
Question: 1) Can I sand the affected areas, masking the rest, and put another coat of clear on? I clear coated 5 days ago. 2) what sandpaper or scuff pad should I use?

Base color coat is PPG Shopline BP on top of PPG sealer, clear coat is JC 6700.
