Default Some photoshup fun please!

I've had some ideas for a concept paint job, and this is what I came up with.



Black with white stripes, and a car color of a light graphite/charcoal color. In the middle, the white stripes are parallel, with black as the background. As you can see, I have a very bad problem using photoshop hehe. If someone would be kind enough to please re-do this to make it more realistic, it would be greatly appreciated

Original picture:




Also, please blank out the license plate. Thank you in advance!

Yeah, the lines just look a little too bland. They need to be outlined or something Seize, do you have any suggestions?

the reason those lines don't look right is because they dont follow the original lines of the car. Right now they look like they're on a streight surface when really the hood has a curve to it. Give me a few minutes and I will show you what I mean.

Dear God, we need a professional like Seize to do this lol. I think the lines look bad because they don't match with the paint gloss.
