looks great, would look even better if you had similar color racing stripes put on it...then it will look like you want this effect and not like they are replacement parts....

but even right now, for those who know, it looks good.

First of all do not paint upper half of car. I am also assuming you used cheap enamel rattle can paint over acrylic this stuff is contaminates the paint as when you go to paint it properly with acrylic it will crack up fry etc even after paint is dry even from invisbile spray even invisible spray will be a problem. As even when you think there is no trace even the over spray is enough to make your next paint job not adhere as prep work usually involves wax and grease remover and sanding but even then there will be contamination. If you are to paint your car paint it with acrylic if you already painted lower with enamel still do not continue to use enamel pay more for acrylic. If one day car was parted nobody would get paint to stick on first try. Just giving you some advice would hate to hear you had come into $ got it painted for it to fry up over 6 weeks.

If it drove past me on the road - I would notice it. and wonder
Just cause its a never before seen color combo..
It'd be sweet with solid hood, top sides, mirrors and tint to match the bottom.
maybe to euro... ? again, just my .02

It's not bad, but I think satin black would've looked a little bit better.
