I like the Dupli-Color lacquers but at times it can be tricky to get the metallic particles to look even. Which is why I find it important to spray the clear lightly on the first few coats. 

I know what you mean regarding metallic particles. Getting it to lay evenly is a bit of an art and you done a sterling job on this!

Yeah, I've found steady even passes to be a key along with holding the can at a good distance. At times when I've applied the clear to heavily on a coat it has the tendency to "smear" the particles. I've found that in addition to lighter coats of clear limiting the number of coats in a day has helped prevent the smearing.

Absolutely stunning Chevelle!   Gorgeous and flawless paint!!

Thank you Carl. The one advantage to running the clear heavier was that I was able to drop back to 1500 grit wet sanding paper and remove almost all of the orange peel.
