IMO you should have prepped the car better..like take off the moldings and paint them seperate so you could get behind the molding...mirrors off...side skirts off... door handles off..and when you have the paper all folded up it traps dust and then when your spraying the air blows all that **** out into the paint...whats up with your quarter panel in that pic above? you should have taken off the wheels too man...their bronze and you gonna have overspray all over the place..good luck
edit:the paper/tape job looks good
