It is for this reason I use single stage urethane. If you look at pictures of my wagon (and my buddy's wagon I painted Lyon blue) and my 40 coupe, I painted both of those in my gravel driveway. Yes, I wet-sanded compounded the final coat.
In my previous shop, I did have a home made paint booth and I did a couple of Base/clear jobs but I still had issues.

Thanks great advise I hadn't thought of. Single stage would be 3 coats. Base/clear probably 6.
