This is the base and after wet sanding / buffing she'll go through some more coats tomorrow night.  This time I'll pull the cars out of the garage and maybe even get a big cardboard box for a "booth".  There are a number of large imperfections; caused by wind, my hanger, and tape on the wheel posts.  I likely should just strip it down again and start over.  I "think" two more coats will even it out, if I get the painting environment just right.  I just want see what I can/cannot do with the paint at this point. One could argue it looks better than how it started out ;-) 

Heck, this base may not even work properly with what Wayne is sending me.  If I do have to use that one, then this was a good learning experience.
