Meh it looks okay. Your problem is that black is very hard to see up against a dark color like Navy Blue. I don't really like how you decided to go with the black on the front bumper. I also would have used a brighter color to pinstripe and separate the two colors, and break them up.

im thinkin about something airbrushed to separate the 2 colors. i didnt want a 2tone that should out like black n red or black n yellow. i wanted something makes you take a 2nd glance. what would you suggest for the hood with the way the black go across the middle section?

Well on my screen it looks like your black line goes across the front of the bumper. I would remove that completely, let it end at the tip of the hood. i agree with your choice in colors, black matches very nicely and is very subtle. Maybe try a silver color pinstripe and be conservative or go crazy and do something striking, like orange or something.

For blue I would go with silver and be safe.

I like how subtle it is! I DO agree that it needs a pin stripe...silver, charcoal or gunmetal would look great! Curve the line on the fender to go into the corner by the hood above the headlight and keep the whole bumper blue. That way the hood's leading edge is your line.

Interesting (the hood)....thing with the (the hood)....paint. Looks (the hood) very nice! (the hood)

Please...consider changing the hood soon too. It really takes away from the nice paint job. You look at it and think only one thing...(the hood).

Okay guys, lets keep it civil.

Get rid of the black on the front bumper totally, let the hood be the edge of the black, like stated above.
