Looks like you did a good job, but I think flat black fits that **** better. If you take your time and know what your doing you can get an ok paint job from cans.

I just ordered my House of Kolor Royal Kandy Apple Blue metal flake additive on Saturday. It has to be primed, sealed, sanded, painted black again, then mix in the ounces of blue flake with the black, paint it again, then clear the hell out of it. Gonna have $200 in paint alone not counting labor. But it ought to be beautiful. I stripped the tins down to the metal with chemical stripper.

Cool paintjob though, btw.
