Sometimes if you get the clear to lay down flat, you won't have to. I wasn't going for the "show car" looking paint, I was looking for stock look-alike because of damage repair. But since the paint didn't lay right, I was forced to wet sand.

Mine looked horrible because of the humidity and temperature outside, this wasn't your typical orange peel.

As for the "deep look" that's the reducer, it's all in the chemicals. If the paint supply place gave me the reducer that I ASKED for, you'd be able to use my car as a red mirror. The wet-sanding also helps with that and gives it the wet/glossy look.
