Re: first paint job ever "duplicolor"
Try using a single stage paint kit from eastwood co. next time,I think you will be a lot more satisfied with their products and its very economical for the quality of materials they use in their paint. Its a very user freindly paint like that duplicolor you used. I used that duplicolor paint on an engine bay and wasnt really happy about the final result. Heres a pic of my car with their single stage.

not bad for a first time paint job...I'm not really feeling the rainbow flake, but it's your car, so you can do what you want

Re: first paint job ever "duplicolor"
just a tip for you, I cant tell if you did, but wet down the floor in your garage next time, only takes ten minutes to do but it will save the dust from going up and getting on the car.
