Looks good, but its also dark. Get a pic in the daylight and it will tell more of the story.

Ive done a roll on paintjob before with rustoleom and it does actually work. Its all about the prep. It looks pretty good in the pic but I think if you hit it with a buffer in a couple of days with some wax it will give you that deeper shine, it almost looks like a semi gloss right now.

i would wait 48 hrs, maybe longer depending on how cold it is there and the humidity level. How thick was your coats and your paint? if you using a polishing or buffing compound you have to be carefull to not burn through it. I just used some turtle wax and it came out nicely, but it was white.
