Looks like a bit of orange peel on the hood. Are you going to sand it or will it even out under a thick coat of gloss?

Nice finish!

Those decals and the work putting them in place cannot have been like a walk in the park ?
Big and sort of multi dimensional with tricky angels etc

It’s the matter of making sure the top decal lines up with the sides perfectly. Not easy but I managed to get it right. I was able to adjust the sides a bit while they were still damp.

I was extremely careful not to rip the points of the side decals when applied them.
Wouh!

Nope. No orange peel. Reflection from the lamp.

Are you going to wet sand it and polish it out? I mean that looks pretty dang good right there but it would have a really nice shine if you did give it "the treatment".
