DIY Paint Jobs
I painted my car in my garage....Will never do it again..but the first coat came out beautiful, nice and smooth/shiny but with every coat it got more and more orange peel to it. As long as you are doing solid color single stage you can "make" it look nice after the fact.
After a good wet sand and buff it looks as good as the paint on any "average" new car. Take a look at page 2 of my cardomain page in my signature and you can see what it looks like. I'l have to snap some of what the driver side looks like after the polish
FYI: I used PPG shop line and got right at 4 decent coats with a gallon of paint
