Third and Forth coat wetsand - 2nd attempt

NOOOO! Aw man this sucks. Ive burned through the paint AGAIN!. This time it was because of a small layer of the ORIGINAL clear coat on the edge of the hood. This small patch of clear coat acted as another paint layer. Now I know to sand off ALL of the clear coat before painting! I also burned the edges! note - no sanding edges.

Fourth Coat - 2nd attempt

Its really foggy out this morning. After finishing painting, the paint came out dull. The guys over at the Moparts Forum say that the fog can affect you finish!
