Thank you. It needs a good polish to bring the true color up. Right now only the hood is polished. I painted for the first time in my front yard and didn't came out very well but after a good polish looks better that a new factory paint The restoration started in March. I did it all by myself.
As others have noted, it is just the lacquer that needs polishing. The colour coat nearly always goes down flat but lacquer is often orange peely.

This car is a 3 in 1
The body and engine is of a 2.1 1999 , interior and alloy wheels and other small parts from a 2.0 TCT 1996, and other parts from a V6 1996. And many new parts as you can see.
Now i have some trouble with the injection pump (Lucas Epic). I am waiting for a friend with lexia to see exactly what's going on.
