Looks good, but its hard to tell, if its going to be a black car, you need to use a good polyester glazing putty, ( such as evercoat) you need to sand everything with a longboard by hand, working your way up to 100 grit dry sand paper, then use a good primer 3 coats, then wet sand the whole thing again with a sanding block, starting with 220, working your way up to 400, then you need to prime it with a good epoxy primer, PPG DP50LF, 2 good wet coats. Who is going to paint it? Prep work is the most important thing in a paint job, if you do it wrong it doesnt matter who paints it, it will look bad. I recomend a BC/CC with 4 wet coats of clear, this way if you have orange peel you can block it out later with 1500 grit wet, and compound. Good Luck!
