reworking a fully restored car

Yeah only about a 1/4 of it shows but after all that work it's hard to say f it good enough lol. I' m mostly concerned with what is going to happen when I clear coat it , even tho the colour is pretty darn good the shine isn't even close , the original base clear job has too much clear it seems , it actually looks thick like a sheet of glass is on top of the paint instead of looking like wet paint so I have to shoot some clear on this so it blends at the quarters and looks right , the pics don't capture it but it is very obvious in person .
