Ahhhh! Nope, didn't get the chance to "key" 'em. Lesson learned! Among many! What I really want to get a handle on is the Fu%@%#$ing clearcoat! I had 3 runs and a tiny bit of orange peel. Spent 12 hours in a hotel room in L.A. using some 1200,1500, and 2000 grit sandpaper getting rid of it. Couldn't feel my hands and arms the whole next day. I don't ever wanna see sandpaper again!

So Jake (or anybody else that has an educated answer), any tips on clearing....or is it just a skill one learns with practice?
