Ok, that one the finish looks pretty dead on. It looks like you really need
to polish on it some more, or maybe rough up the surface (with 320 to 600 grit)
and clear coat it (option # 2). Did you use a catalized enamel for your
finish, or not put in any hardener? If the later, then you won't get the shine up,
as the hardener is what puts the brilliant shine in enamel. I'm also wondering
if you let the paint dry long enough, as enamel needs 30 days to dry before
color sanding, while modern clear coats (BC/CC systems) only need 3 days. Just
a few things to think about, andI hope this helps.
