. The second time it was paid for by insurance, +$200.
I think you should have painted the hood all black. The line of the black in front of the wheelwell just doesn't flow. I wonder if it would work better if you would have brought the black all the way to the wheelwell and kind of just swoooped it off of the upper corner of the wheelwell.
. I wanted a hockey stripe effect to the paint and just cutting it in the wheel well makes it look halfassed and tacky IMO.it'll be getting a 1/4 or 1/2 inch silver pinstripe when the paint has had a chance to cure a bit more

Can you take some pics of the side so i can see what your talking about. All the pics you have posted, the line is nowhere near the same as the wheel well. Look at the distance between the top of the wheel well and the black, now look in front of the wheel well, its like twice that distance. I could be wrong, but unless your pinstripe is going to be 3inches thick, its not going to change the two tone line, which is wrong.

The paint looked silly completely following the wheel well. Maybe it looks good in your head but it looked awful on the car, trust me. Like I said, this wasnt a spur of the moment thing, I played with every possible angle I could have on the fenders and bumper
