Its solid black, but clear over base, rather than 2k solid. I make sure i keep the spraying area as clean as i can, i sweep it out, then hose it down. Its also good to have the floor and walls wet while you paint, that'll reduce dust. TBH you can eliminate dust in the base coat, then any bits you might get in the lacquer can be flattened and polished out

All of the welds were ground down lower than the flush level of the panel, so that it can be filled with filler. IF they weren't ground down you would see the welded joint, which you can't

I had that exact panel replaced on my old Corsa. It got damaged by some dick that decided to kick and punch it. Brother has also had that panel replaced on his car as he bought it damaged and had it repaired...
