Default fender paint issue

Hey guys my sister recently fender bendered her car literally, so I picked up a new one and started helping her with it since I took a few classes and have had my own luck in the past,

Now I did my base it looked fine.. Now I put clear on the same way
End end too.

It looks like this after 2 hours of my last clear is it still not dried or is it too thick or etc?
Thanks anyone for your suggestions

To dry, you are eather to far or moving much to fast... Your last (wet) coat of clear should look like how you want the finished product to look like

Sounds good giving it another try tomorrow!
I'll take it slower and more careful

Hey guys yah it was me having a clear coat issue not laying it on thick enough,
Had a better go this time the button part and the top part have the tiniest haze spots,

Buffing or polishing should get this out correct you can see it on the fender curve.

Yes, did you follow the flash times for the clear? It might be solvent trapped below the surface which would mean sand and re base and clear. Start with sand and polish first if below the surface then sand and reclear.

Just takes practice. How is the heat and humidity where you are spraying at?
