Came out pretty good imo, a lot better than the previous color. I'm in the process of finding T2 aero to throw on and picking up an s5 t2 block on friday

My 240Z was painted a gray that was very similar to that.
Not the world's most eye-catching color but it did have the advantage of not showing dirt and minor dings, so it was extremely easy to live with.
BTW, I'm not sure I'd trust a shop willing to shoot clear over your paint.
Painters I know want to control the process/materials from the start and wouldn't touch a partially done job...too many things can go wrong, leaving them holding the bag.

nice paint job.
It's nice to see a car community that isn't stuck up about repainting cars outside of the factory colorsets. There are some groups out there that will brow-beat a person for showing up to a meet w/ anything besides the color the car rolled out of the factory with. I almost baught an MG a few weeks ago. The owner refused to admit that the car had been repainted. (I could se the horrid Macco paint overspray all over the vehicle)

Thanks I was pretty hesitant because I've seen some pretty terrible rattle can jobs, once I'm done there'll be more to come possibly with some aero but I'm in the middle of buying a couple blocks so we'll see when I get to it lol

Looks too close to white for me. If you're digging gray, I'd suggest a medium-dark gray -- the EVO gray comes to mind. There's a video of a 7 in a similar darkish gray color floating around on YouTube and I must say it's incredibly sexy.
