2010 370Z clear coat paint problems???

Just make sure you look at it under really good lighting. The best is lots of florescents, as the harsh lighting really shows any flaws off easily. From those pictures, it looks like inside that bay would be a good spot to do it in.

I'd go over the entire car closely looking for any sorts of imperfections. It should also have much less (or possibly none) orange peel than compared to a factory paint job on the Z.

For me, it took two trips back there and pointing out imperfections in the new clearcoat before they finally got it right. The main problem besides some orange peel in the new paint job was fisheye looking imperfections. Both of these issues were in the clearcoat, the paint itself came out great.
