Probably won't get the kind of stares you're hoping for.

Next time if you do try this again, you can get spray can that have a good tip that spray a nice fan patern. Will reduce the chance of the tiger stipes.

yea i know.. i got 6 cans of krylon camo olive drab paint. and for some wierd reason 3 of the cans had a different label on them even though they were all the same brand. but what i didnt know when i bought them was that 3 out of 6 of the cans had regular tips on them and the other 3 had fan pattern tips.. i had to goto 3 different stores to get 6 cans of it. if they were all fan tipped cans i could have sprayed the entire car with under 5 cans..

so some of it looks clean and the rest has tiger stripes.. oh well..

How did it lay down with the fan tip? You should of switched the around or atleast used the fan tip cans for the last coats.
