Your clear doesn't look like it laid down that bad.. what is it doing? Raising, orange peel? It can't be that bad, my e30 has a $135 Dupli Color job done in a mostly clean garage...

You've got to be so happy at this point, even with the clear situation. Did you have any dust-up issues with not using a booth?
Had my car resprayed last year and he used PPG base/clear. The 3000 clear lays on easy and looks great after it's color-sanded. I've heard good things about the Eastwood line, just haven't seen it in person. Seems to be a muscle car preference.
Here's a couple pics to get you eager to finish:

I quick knocked down a corner of the decklid before I left today, to see how the clear looked after sanding it back and it levels out pretty nicely. I still think I will lay another 2 coats on it, after I sand it back, since I don't know how much film will be left after sanding. Plus, the clear being urethane, it has to be abraded before top-coating it, if more than 18 hours has elapsed...
