Don't give up so easily, Mikey Mike has been painting for a long time and your just getting started. Keep things simple for the best results. Mikey paints a million times better better than I do but I still want to do my own paint it's something I'm trying to get better at just like my wrenching and fabricating.  |

Just don't be to hard on yourself, your paint isn't lame IMO it's not Mikey Mike but you did it yourself. Fancy paint jobs look funny at the bottom of the score sheet.  |

Hey I've seen worse...=P It can be improved. Maybe outline the stripes with a marker or mask and paint. Black or silver will look good. The same should be done to the windows too. That will clean up the edges quite well. You should've also backed the paint with black. I have no idea why people don't do this. It gives the body a more solid stronger look. Another thing, I would also paint the rollbars and bed black. |

hell i have seen worse. err ummm i mean i have done worse. i can paint triple tone bodies. so yeah just takes some time to come up with ideas. just for now stick with single tone desings and do some major ploting and resurch on how to paint like a pro.
