What you're learning Chuck is that anyone can pick up a paint gun and shoot paint. An "experienced" painter knows how to avoid and/or fix issues when they arise. One way to hide metallic imperfections is to back the gun out a few inches and "fog" a coat over the painted surface while the paint is still wet. That will even out the surface metallic. As Yakima says, practice (a lot of practice) makes perfect. FYI, another reason to paint all of the parts at the same time is the color of a high metallic paint can be changed just by the amount of thinner used. If you don't do everything exactly the same way each time (when parts are painted at different times) it's easy to get mismatched color.
