The car looked good. I've always been a fan of the bright greens. I think they look great when they are two-toned or with stripes. I am curious though as to what brand paint you used. I know that BASF says that it's a three stage paint with charcoal as the base then the green then the clear.

that wouldnt make it a three stage.three stage would be the color then mid coat mainly a pearl(s) then clear.i use a dark grey sealer just sprayed on top of that used matrix brand been using it for a few years now works great.

Cool. Thanks for clearing that up for me. I do find it odd that such a dark base or sealer is used under such a bright green. I guess that's why i'm a mechanic and not a painter. Keep up the good work.

It's because the base is probably very transparent.

I think it looks better on a 4th gen.

The roof is a toss up, I got **** for painting mine too. In hindsight if I was to do it over id still paint it orange but i would leave out the stripes.

Great job.
