That's not a bad color at all. A car always looks better with a matching engine bay. From the posted pics it looks like it could use a little more clear for added depth. What color is the interior going to be. If this is and S3, only the gray will work with the Galaxy, as far as stock interior colors go. If you are doing a color change or custom interior, could be a sharp looking car. If you keep the maroon or brown interior, it won't work at all.

Damn fine for job for using an old gun and a first timer with automotive paint. I bought a Sata RP 2000 last year and I am not used to it yet. Little hint on the clear, spray a light first, let it flash, then hit it with 2 full coats, flashing in between. You will have fewer runs that way.
