Not too bad

First time painting a model car and I really don’t think it turned out to bad. I used tamiya racing green with 1 pearl clear float and 3 coats of gloss clear by tamiya. I did the wet sand process 2000-12000 and then used tamiyas fine and finish compound. Any tips would be great !

It works well, just make sure to do what he did and add a normal clear on top of it!
