Small update with old pics.
We sanded a high spot down and ended up with a smiley face.
We finally finished painting the hood and clearing it. Problem was part of it was in the sun and the clear dried too fast. We were nervous, but we wet sanded the clear with 1000,1500, and 3000 grit then 3 staged buffed it. We only did the passenger half of the hood. The results are below. Super flat paint!
Now I have to do the rest of the truck.
