I'm just saying from personal experience, you dont need to smear mud over the entire car. When I got my SS painted, the guy did the method I'm telling you about (mind you, this car had plenty of door dings, had the front end all fucked up hitting a bear, and was 16 years old)...and when I got it back it was as smooth as glass all over. I was down there all the time checking on it, and he did NOT smear mud all over it to get it that way. I went down there one day and there was probably 25 pieces of tape stuck to the car identifying trouble spots and he was taking pictures. after the car was stripped, he used the pics to get a feel(with his hands literally) for where there needed to be some work, and smoothed it out.
you WILL NOT find a single show quality paint job that hasn't had mud all over the entire surface. Sure, you don't _need_ to do it, but that is the ONLY way you are going to fill in gaps. I have no idea what color you got painted but try it on black, it will show every single low spot.
