Make sure you get you mix of matting agent and lacquer correct each time.
A slight bit more or less of the additive changes the color completely.
You if it's too Matt one cured you cab polish it with a light polishing pad to bring back some satin finish.
Epic work so far.

Thank you for taking your time
Yes I am aware of that, and scared is well, because I need to do in steps, my garage is small and I need to do a little bit of play in what to do first
Thank you for the idea of light polishing in case if something goes to matt
EDIT: I just read one more time, and I am not using matt agent but a lacquer that is semi gloss already
From MAxMeyer I have 7050 that means semi gloss, and the 7010 lacquer is matt

I didn't update this topic for ages, I know.
As I divorced from my ex 2 years ago basically I just finished this car with a complete respray, just to give it to him...sad I know, as I was spending hours around it with the thought I would never drive it again, but I couldn't left it half a way as I knew it would end at the scrapyard, and after one year restoring it, I would rather finish it and see it back to the road, even not with me, than knowing this coupe life would end.
Here is after sprayed and back to the road

Pictures got some weird quality, might be the site I used to upload them.
And that's it, mission complete, another Happy Honda on the road, free (for now) from the scrapyard, as it was the destiny when I bought it!
Hope you all like

Great that you got it finished well done!
Shame you don't get to enjoy the fruits of your labour though

So now is a time for a Prelude saving mission. Do you have something new in mind?
