Default Got a problem...Please help!

Hey guys, I just debadged my car yesterday. I filled in the holes with bondo, painted and I applied clear coat and everything. The paint still looks very dull, I'm not sure how long it takes clear coat to set and look good on a car, but I think I might have done something wrong. Does it normally take more than 24 hours for clearcoat to set and "mend" with the rest of the paint on the car? Any help would be appreciated as the whole front and back ends of my car looks pretty dull and bad right now. Thanks.

Check your clear coat. There are high and low gloss clear coats, make sure you got the high gloss.
