Now I'm stuck with this orange peeled.........argh. I'm beginning to hate painters. I think i'm just gonna buy a gun a teach myself. lol

I'm hoping the peel is in the clear and there's enough clear to effectively remove it....

Cut and tucked, had to make room for the air ride components. Everything is installed under the vehicle.

doesn't matter if its in the base or clear, you can take 1000 grit and wetsand it, then 2000 grit and wetsand, then buff it out with compound then some finishing glaze...becareful not to sand through and don't sand near the edges or corners!!!!
