I have two stone chips on hood of C6 Crystal Red Metallic. I purchased matching touch up paint and clear coat from GM. When I applied the paint it is built up to high (must have used too much). What is the best way to smooth out and at what point do I apply the clear coat. I have all the Adams products and know how to remove swirls and scratches and I am able to create an incredible shine on the paint. But concerned about making these spots unnoticable.
