Dude that is ******* AWESOME looking!!!! Major improvement from what you started with, specially with that ugly *** bumpergod i hate those!
I went to a local cruise-in the other day at a body shop and won a gift for $100 off a purchase over $1000, since i don't trust myself with a paint gun around my car I'm gonna get them to do it for me lol Just need tax money to hurry up and come in now!!!

I might would try it myself if i had a reliable place to paint it, my buddy's dad has a "paint boot" but hes one **** mother ****** and i could see him just pushing my **** out of the booth w.o telling me and letting it sit in the yard 1/2 done, cause i'm sure this is no 1 day job...at least for me i know it wouldn't be. Looking back at your pics i think you should tint the front & rear side markers, that would flow a lot better i think.

And like stated, if you mess up there is no easy fix with this paint. your gonna have to resand the entire panel & re-shoot it. I was gonna attempt this myself but after doin plenty of reading & asking professional painters, I decided to let a shop do it at tax time.
I'd be pissed if I got a little run & had to re-do an entire panel.
