2 coats primer, 5 coats of white and 3 coats of clear. If your more than ten feet away you cant tell the difference The whit is a dead nuts match. The only issue i have it the clear is not shiney, Or smooth Its more of a satin color than gloss And im not sure how to make it shine it also is not smooth It has te texture of a painted wall. But again For a rattle can job And 320$ ish all together In happy I tried a coat of polishing wax And it helps a little But its still not glossy

Looks good! Maybe wet sanding it may help with the shine?

Wet sanding (2000 grit) and then polishing compound should do it.

I agree here except I would use 3000 grit and lightly wet sand. You will burn through that clear pretty quick so be careful.

I agree with the wet sanding and then a good polish.
