That photo didn’t really show the imperfection haha. I thought I was smart by propping up the door handles so I can get paint evenly on the inside. Unfortunately since it was propped up when the handle was placed back down some parts of it were blocked so the paint didn’t get on there evenly (circled in red)



What’s worse was I tried to fix it and it didn’t work, which ended up sanding everything down (except the inside of the handles) to redo it, this time without propping up the handle. Except I over sanded it and caused a lot of ridges and imperfection on the handle itself so now the second try the paint and clear coat got on there evenly, but up close you can see that the handles aren’t smooth cuz i over sanded it. And there’s also a bit of orange peel. Sigh it’s ok, it’s “good enough” from a few feet away Lol
