Right now I don't have the camera, so I'll just write up what happened. I did practicly perfect paint job. But all metallic paint must be clearcoated. First layer was a mist coat. Second one was a wet one. But when laying down the wet one, the spray can started to spray milky white color and not clear . ALthough after 10 minutes it was visible as clear, but the finish was rough. And again I did very wet coat from close distance. And the result was ... over painted door handles, molded names, turn signals, bumper rubbers, ... . Also some really minor cracks appeared.

Murphy ... Anyway I guess now is the time, to completly strip the paint off. I'm thinking of brake fluid/oil. Should I wait the paint to be dry or can I just give my Civic a bath?

P.S.: And don't you think this project is on hold! No way brothers.
