Black roof...

Overall I am very happy with the results. There is a lot more orange peel then I would have liked but most should come out when I polish it.

Crappy pictures until I polish it then I'll have my friend take some high rez ones.

polish orange peel? Dude, you'll have to wet sand that out and give it a good compounding

if you do it properly, it'll look like glass

Either that's temendous orange peel/dry spray, or terrible paint...

I've done a bit of painting in my day, and even the worst orange peel is still shiny... I hope you've got enough clear on there to sand a LOT!
