You should throw some color on that wing while you're at it.

just a hobbyist

other than piece components I've done in the past, this would be the 3rd car I've ever done...not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but good enough for something that should go 200mph in the 1/4 mile

hell at 200mph, i don't think anyone will be able to tell there are any flaws in the paint.
