Done with the respay but I am still not happy with the result. The paint settled nice but the clear coat did not came as I wished. It is not as glossy as I would hoped and I wanted to ask you of any ideas as to what went wrong.
Appart from the fact that it was not in an oven (that's how it's called?).
In order for the clear coat to settle right does it need any specific temperature at the car surface during spray or afterwards?Go Holset or Go RS4

After watching several clips in YouTube I came to the conclusion that I sprayed it too little (is it called dry?). All these folks spray I fair big amount of clear coat almost without to worry about runs ect. Maybe that's the way to go.
The day after tomorrow I am gonna try to do it right.Go Holset or Go RS4

Just what I was going to say. You will need to give it a scotch over to give the clear coat a fresh key. Do several dry coats and then give it a couple of heavier coats (Wet Coats) to give it that shine. Make sure you overlap the fan spray on each pass and make it that you end at the end or bottom of your car so that you do not end up with any dry lines.
If you put plenty on you can always wet and dry any runs, you can even cut back any dry spots with a polishing mop if there is enough coats on
