No ,,, If you paint it one day ,1200-1600 rub it the next day and buff it The longer you leave it the harder the job is gonna be
What pin holes???Thats usally bad prep work. You only get pin holes in Bog,,,,not in paint... What you might have is WAX fry up,,,thats bad,,, can you send me a pic or two and we shall go from their.. If you paint nice their is no need to color rub or Buff,,,,(but thats skill and years of painting) Plus you dont need clear to get shine I have been told by a car painter thats now dead(loved his piss,piss and cars dont mix) Some people do the trade and call them self painters ,some people pick up a gun and do it.. Now if you are good you are good and doing 3 years apperenticeship will not make you better..
