I agree with him. I don't like stripes that go all the way down, but the color isn't bad.

I was going to curve the stripes on the upper part of the nose but i couldn't get both sides to look the same so i just brought them down the front.

Looks pretty hot to me. Hope my home-done paint job comes out that good when I finally get it going.

Thanks for the comments yall. The PPG paint code is 5583 and the color is called AMBER FIRE PEARLCOAT it's a 2003 Hummer color. the color looks like it is when sprayed over red oxide primer. but it dosn't look the same if sprayed over grey primer. I didn't take the front and rear bumpers off when i shot it. everything was on the car.

Oh, and a late welcome to the board
