Maaco paint job?

Old Mentor body guy once told me about
Body/ paint.
"If you (owner) can live with the end result,
Thats all that matters."

I usually tell people that want to paint their own car, get a good bodyman( not me anymore lol) to prep/block
To final primer first.
Then give it a gallant effort.

Putting shiny paint over sand scratches and feather edges/ imperfections, doesn't make them disappear......
