Paint day: spraying sealer, metallic base coat and clear coat

//Paint day: spraying sealer, metallic base coat and clear coat
Finally– I got around to painting the car today. I sprayed it with a sealer first, as shown in the below photos. The sealer seemed to spray nicely. I don’t know what I was thinking with the Grey sealer color selection though since it should match closer to the final base coat color which is a metallic gunmetal grey.
I should have ordered Urchem’s dark grey or at least the medium Grey shade sealer color to match the basecoat.
I didn’t get many photos of the finish but will be shown in later posts. At first I thought the paint laid down nicely but later on realized it had a lot of orange peel.
This was one of my first paint jobs though so it’s expected.
