I can't hate on it that much because I just rattle can'd my hood, but from what I see in your pics, you were WAY too close spraying AND you were outside. That overspray looks ka-ka.

I like how the spray paint shines more than your normal paint...

Not always. Did you use JDM tape to mask them off?

$6 worth of stripe tape would have probably came out better, for the budget minded use electrical tape!

The first picture with the tape on looks the best, like painted white stripes from afar. Next time just leave the tape on and don't paint it, looks way better. And adds 80hp.
