Most people tend to apply too much clear coat to thier dyi paint, this causes a green tint just like a coke bottle. Looks good tho!!

Maybe it's my eyes...but were you trying to match the car color? Or intended for it to be different?

I like the look...but think it would look way better if it was more color matched.

Yes I did. I think you misunderstood me. Was just curious if you intended it to match before painting. That is all.

So this means I should just say I love it? I'm very well aware of Mr. Bills position on the forum, and was not attacking him. I just think it would look better if it matched the rest of the car. Just my opinion. If he likes it that's all that matters.

It was suppose to match, But it didn't come out that way.
