Well, looks like clearcoat I'm going to have to do tomorrow.. Spent all day blending the body line today and doing a few other things here and there for the car. Here are some closeups on how it turned out, this is with NO clearcoat at all.
Before blending, after lifting tape off and wet sanding a little bit:
After sanding down the body line, wet sanding, and putting more coats of paint on to conceal it:
Blended, before FINAL thick even coats of paint, this is about where I am at right now:
Putting on the final coats of paint as we speak so that they can dry tonight, and I can put the clearcoat on tomorrow finally.
1 Step Closer!

About 3 layers of clearcoat are on right now, having hell of a time doing it due to debris/bugs and having to wait for it to dry to re-clean the surface in between each application - all due to the fact that I don't have a designated booth. Making do with what I have right now for resources.
Still going to apply probably 6 more coats or so, have 2.5 cans left.

Finally got the amber corners in, as well as the eyelids. Lids are drying with the clearcoat right now, but I will wait to install them until I refurbish the headlight lenses.
