I’ve probably done it about a dozen times now on a various cars, and my friends/family. As mentioned above, the most important thing you can do is take your time. Get the paint as perfect as you can before applying. If you find high spots later, no worries, just some hand polish to remove the high spots. They typically come off pretty easy since it’s actually the oils in the coating that rise to the top. Once done, add a little more coating on top to make sure you have even coverage.

A lot of coatings have a top coat. I actually recommend doing that after your first wash, unless the directions indicate otherwise. This way, when/if you find a high spot, you can address that without having to reapply both the top coat and base coat. Good luck, take your time, and it’s going to come out just fine!
