Well I tried to sand, respray the color, then clear coat, but to no avail.  
The fender is still dull.  I guess I should have checked before spraying the 
fender. But you live and learn.  I assumed that if they sold the paint in 
cans it was ready to go.  That's what I get for assuming!

In any case, it looks alot better than a rusty fender!  Also, I have to 
replace the right fender also, so when that happens I may just get the whole 
car repainted. Yeah, that sounds good, I tell my wife see I messed up this 
fender, I have to have the whole car painted.

Thanks for the help,
