Default some pics of todays project....what do you think?

well ive been working on the Z for about 2 months now and its finally coming together now. started out as just painting the engine bay and the bumper and fenders, but then decided why not paint the whole car and make it perfect? the doors/quarters were blocked, primed and then block sanded again, had a couple small dents i fixed. last night my brother based the car, then this morning my buddy from work taped out the flames, sprayed them, and then cleared it all. its omni base and ppg 894 clear...what do you think?
ill get some more pics when i get it untaped and in the sun






cleared

Looks good, a Sunoco or SS hood would really give it that extra touch though

I agree. I think the shape of them is off. There's not depth either. It looks just like there's 2 colors.

I love the color but I am not in love with the flames. I think the car still looks great just flames were never my thing.

I dislike the flame design, it looks very preschool.
