I think your painter shorted you. The blue doesnt go all of the way to the bottom.

Looks good.

I like the color a lot. Any plans for aftermarket wheels? Just my opinion, but I think other wheels would really set it off.

Very nice. I like the blue to silver. Don't remember seeing another like that. Great choice.

PS Just be honest you ran out of paint at the bottom.
