Props for doing your own paint, but like everyone else is saying, you could have done a few things differently. I'm sure it will look good overall, it will just be small details. I can say I wouldn't have taken the risk when I was a teenager, and I still wouldn't now haha. Extensive body work is the one thing that I leave to professionals.

Man you guys are really putting a lot of work into it, that's for sure. I would spray some high build on that fender and block it out again to get it flat. If you dont you will always kick yourself. I look forward to the final shots.

Looks good! I would definatly sand that fender down and repaint it, you will never be happy unless you fix it. Good job overall, looking forward to finished pictures.

yeah man keep it up. It takes me back when I was a senior in high school I picked up a older 1st gen rx7 and had to paint the fender. Should have done it myself. Im sure it would have been fun.
