 Looks great! I would do this, but me + sanding = messed up car. Haha.

 Looks good. How do they feel? Smooth?

This is a good DIY guide. Most people will just spray it with VHT and leave it without wet sanding or clear coat... it looks matte and cheap.

 thanks guys. the wetsanding isn't bad at all. if you mess it up just do it again. it def takes patience. yeah mine were without the wetsanding for a while but they're smooth finally.

 How long after my last coat should I wait before I start wet sanding?

 usually about 30 mins or an hour, until it is dry to the touch.

 thanks for posting this, I just bought some of this tint spray and want to make sure I do it right, but I haven't seen anything listed for a clear. Can it be any type of clear coat or is it something specific?

*After some help from Jorge we found that someone on another post had said that regular auto clear worked for him. So, this may have answered my question unless anyone has any additional information.
