That looks great, and you did it yourself, what a good feeling. I want to offer advise about sanding out the bugs. the paint looks to be metalic, if so be cautious when sanding because you will actually be sanding into the metailc particals causing the area to look different. Clear coat finishes are best for color sanding because the metalic is protected from the sanding process by the clear. When I paint single stage metalics I find it is sometimes better to let mother nature, and vehicle washing remove any bugs or dirt over time. I am by no means a pro and dont paint for a living and dont want to come across as being negative.

Nice work Steve! It does take a little time to build up the nerve to start spraying..lots of learning,prep,chemicals and things to think about and what can go wrong. Once it's on ..and dosen't fall off..the result is something to be proud of. Looks like you've done your homework!
The insects that land and flop around in your wet paint, are called "Riders"..badges of hard work,experience and ineviability..'let'em ride' ..and if they're small ones,only you know where they are
