Pat yourself on the back - the good bits are excellent LOL

Those hanging down bits, maybe file them off carefully when they have completely hardened. The car looks great

If you can get it down to looking great a 5 feet you are doing very well.

A pro painter would quickly see my surface irregularities but so far, three people have overlooked them even when just a few feet away.

Nope Pros dont much bother judging others work as they know whats involved to get it right they know the pit falls.
Now if you ask one for an opinion or to judge your work or for advise ya they will pick it apart! and make you cry but other wise they leave it alone at least I do.
On the Flip side of that, I have ran into a Few so Called Painters around my area that think they are Hot **** Painters Painting cars for people around my area turning out crap work.
I enjoy picking their stuff apart and rubbing their noses in it and shame them for charging customers for shoddy work.

I congratulate any D I Y guy who gives it their best attempt with what he has.
Painting a whole car is no easy task and you should be proud of your work.

Thanks, Dennis. That is really great to hear. I am really invested in learning this and have been overly self critical. But so far, have been hearing nothing but compliments despite the flaws (that apparently only I can see).
