Yes. He needs to straighten out his number plate & buy a new driver's seat

He's only sprayed the panel & not blended it in with the surrounding panels.

There's now a shade difference.

Spraying too close for even finnish .
Looks like he dry sanded first.
Thought you should flatten the paint before clear coat .

It's a solid colour.  Why would you lacquer it when the rest of the car isn't?

What happens to red cars if they're not laquered? Especially out in a hot country

1. yes.. actually he made critical mistakes..blending with a surrounding panel is a must.. because even if you apply exact number of layers (original) and exactly same color tone, because of hvlp gun difference and the electrostatic property of panels are different final paint will be a different shade and will be visible to even untrained eyes..
 
better practice is to sand whole panel until primary coat..so you can achieve at least same number of color layers so you can get a closer tone even if not same (remember spray cans is not same with hvlp ).. then you can apply 2-3 layers which will be more closer to original.. and then blend in..
 
2. definitely..
 
and besides most colors fade under sun so you need to check your prepared color with test cards before you start painting.. I have seen awkward paint tones applied on expensive cars many times..

as an example my clit is painted completely except the roof .. the same day with the same gun and with the same prepared color same number of layers by the same painter.. but when I look carefully I can see a very slight difference on panels having different sizes..

Totally agree Pete, but if the wing is lacquered and the rest of the car isn't...

normally laquer is directly added to non metallic paints mixture.. but cant predict what these aerosols    include

Cem. It's high time you did a guide.

My point exactly.    Although when he was sanding it, the original paint looked pretty soft to me.  Obviously not that easy to tell via a video though.

also its easier to wipe scratches from non metallic paint (by sanding/polishing) unless you deal with deep stone chips

Agreed, as long as the scratch hasn't gone right through the paint and into the primer, some patient sanding and polishing can remove them completely.  Far easier than repainting.
