im thinking it might show any door dings, but as long as its perfectly straight before paint, i think it will really reflect my personality.

if that paint is as reflective as it looks from those pictures, i would think you wouldnt be able to paint it that color legally. I remember once hearing about it being to reflective, kind of like miror tint... maybe im talkin out my *** though.
