I know you have to be excited, as I was after my first swap. lol. I am sure the car will much better than it did in the pictures you posted. Make sure you take a lot of pictures in the progress, makes the thread so much more interesting. Good luck and I hope it turns out better than you anticipated.

Its science. Lol 
But for real though, what happens is, the morning dew comes from the metal body. As it comes out the paint, it lifts the paint up a few microns off of each layer. So once you wipe it off, slowly but surely, small particles of the top coat/paint come off.

1400? damn are they even painting it in a booth? and is it a one man job? bc materials on a budget paintjob already cost ~600. higher quality paints/clears and materials should be around the 1k range and your car needs alot of prep to be considered done correctly. gl on the paintjob
