Hey, so I've applied my last planned layer of clear coat to my fender, but it became cloudy, like the picture shows. Will itt be normal after wet sanding and polishing, or should I add another layer? Thanks.

Looks kind of like you sprayed it to dry.
You could sand it smooth with fine paper like 600 to 800 and reclear, maybe slowing the dry time down so it flows. Slow activator with slow reducer, and when real hot, some retarder. You want it to stay wet all over but not to run. JC.

Good point,
That finish is pretty good for lacquer

Well that is a 2K clear, maybe urethane but maybe acrylic enamel, since it says
hardener instead of activator, it's probably enamel. You just need to slow the dry rate down and get it to stay wet all over. It may only be the dry overspray that's keeping it from being glossy. You could scuff it real good with a scuff pad and reclear, usually clear goes over clear way better the second time, like a flow coat. JC.
