hi fellas iv been practicing spray painting now when i try and put the clear on i get this overspray on the panel i got some pics of it you can see were iv wiped my hand over it and it leaves white chalky clear on my hand after, or do i just buff it out later, also this is the same colour as my torry it looks heaps better fresh than the paint on the torry.

The clear will need to be rubbed back and polished, its pretty normal to get over spray dust. Get some Retarder thinners and add in 10%. It will slow the drying time and you will get less over spray.
A block, some 1200 wet and dry and an good rotary polisher with bring it up like a mirror.

2k dries slower so is generally not an issue.
It does happen though with 2k, and if it does then you just put in a slower (retarder) reducer (thinners)((there the same thing called different names to make them easily distinguishable))
From here it looks like you have done a good job, the flake and color looks even, which is the hardest part, and the finish is fairly good.
The problem your having isnt really a problem, as Nathan said just buff it, but i feel some retarder thinners will help you out a bit.
Also try to avoid spraying in direct sunlight or if the body temp of the metal is on the high side.
Cheers.

when i first tried spraying the clear it was in the sun and the panel was pretty hot and it was heaps worse so i moved it in the shade and let it cool down which helped, at least i know its not a major problem i was stressing out, il try some retarder and keep practicing until im happy with result
cheers

Not an issue man.
Tried PMing you my phone number but it brought up heaps of errors and apparently your not in the messaging system???
call/sms is the quick way to get answers.

nice colour there mate and as bomber said it looks like you got the flake to go down even wich is a good thing 
IMO i would just do the normal...... chop it with 1200wet, buff with a fine buffing compound, wash it down with warm soapy water and polish it and it will shine like crazy.
