Looks pretty good, if you did it its wet sanding time! Id take that down to 600 or 800 grit.
If you had it painted let them know you see the orange peel in it still.
Dont get me wrong looks great but get the texture out and its going to awesome.
Funny thing is I painted one of my front fenders black about 8 years ago to see how it would turn out.
After wet sanding and another coat it looks good 8 years later. I parked my new 07 black caddy next to it the other day and even thru the dirt and dust the old fender looked better than the paint on my new car.

Thats going to be a very nice ride! Wish mine was at that stage right now. lol

It's a light silver... It will be wet sanded and bluff but after everyone has been installed back...

I started install new parts today.... Shouldn't be much longer now!
