Perfect job on the contrast! looks excelent. The only thing i dont like is the tail lights. I think the bottom reflector should be the same color on all 4 lights. But it overall you did a good job!

Very good choice in colors. Just enough contrast not to just scream out at you.

Nice - but I'm biased!

I have an '02 Quicksilver coupe with Tigershark front and rear fascias. I painted my TS rear Med Spiral Grey like yours and ALSO painted the inset area around the exhaust below. I used the same paint color for the center area of my MCM CF hood.

Looks greay Ray. I to wanted mine with a slight contrast so when I did my Tigershark last year my painter added just a little dark color to the Pewter and it looked great on the test panel, nice and subtle with a bit of contrast. Once we got it done on the car you can barely see the difference due to the way the bumper contours in that insert. We also did the same thing around the screen inserts in the front.
