It's a little time consuming to shoot the paint evenly into the ducts and such, the clear will be even worse, to do it and keep it from running, but after an easy wet sand the finish turns to butter under the buffing wheel.



You must have had to block the crap outta that thing to get it flat again, nice work!

Ha..yeah 80 grit paper and most the day. Followed by finer grit sanding. The ducts were kinda tricky, almost got a run in the paint on my first attempt. I ended up getting behind the bumper and shooting it in that way.
