I repainted my front right 1/4 panel after some ------ hit it in a parkinglot.


Used my compressor with 2 inline dryers on it, a small touch-up gun w' Toyota B202. Took alittlewhile, but it was fine. It's 95% prep to get good paint. To keep the dust off the finish while it was curing i sat a sawhorse beside the car & threw an old blanket over that & the top of the car to keep the wind from hitting it.

you can just wet sand the run and the orange peel you got and still make it turn out good

After reading your post I wouldn't recommend trying it yourself.

I wouldn’t do it outside unless you’re just rattle canning it. I did mine in my garage and it looks ok, I still have a couple bugs in the clear, but there jdm bug so it’s uber cool

Make a paint booth by stapling up plastic in a garage. Worked for me 3x.
