Well... we could debate the light-blue color choice, but that's all down to preference. I'm not the kind of person that would paint his car neon orange/green either (wrong person to ask). I will say however that your color selection does clash extremely bad with your tan interior. Something needs to be done pronto (dye the cloth black or replace).

That aside, the bigger issue for me is the very poor tape job. Your lines are not well defined and bleed over in several places. The real skill in painting anything is not in the spray, but in the taping. You have to tape, and tape well... or all the spray in the world is still going to make it look like sh*t.

Take it from someone who knows, this is the door of *my* '99 before returning to stock for sale.



My lines were tight & crisp, and I always got a bunch of compliments... from the autobody guys on my tape job. I realize the vent/control portion of the skin is difficult, but it must be done correct or not at all.

Finally, a warning: spray many, many thin layers... AND then spray it again with several more thin layers of clearcoat (I used 5x layers of color and 3x layers of clear). Otherwise you will cry everytime a watch, ring, bracelet, shoe, or otherwise comes into contact and takes a chunk of paint with it. If you do it right, it should last you several years (mine lasted 3x years before the jewelry started to chip).
