I took about a 15 minute break per coat and I was doing thin layers, but there was a corner that was hard to reach so it didn't get the paint it wanted and so I sprayed that area directly and it got blasted. I used 800 grit sand paper on the shiny areas and then resprayed 1-2 layers of the satin black. Then, I used 2000 grit on everything to smooth out the orange peel look and to even the partial shiny areas. Shot it with 3 coats of the matte clear coat, and wha-la! Looks better. Thanks for the write up and the help Simota1. =) Now I need to figure out how I'm going to get the small dent out of my hood.
