Don't think he's joking guys. Actually doesn't look bad. Are you going to seal it?

You should consider getting some pinstriping done to set it off.

Honestly I have never mixed paint to spray. Didn't want to do even more damage plus the cost of all equipment I would need to spray. It's not perfect but it looks ok. Plus you can't tell it when im rolling down the road

I'm planning on some old school pin striping.
