Default First Opinion of New Paint Job

Ok guys I am having my car painted and wanted to get your opinion on the first look with it not yet completed. I am not even sure if I like it yet but I guess if you are going to have a show car you need something eye catching.

is that a marble/shadow effect on the top blue portion of the two-tone? definitely unique. good luck with the outcome and keep us posted with pics. looks like you're on your way to accomplishing your "eye-catching" goal.

Kinda of remind me of the Alpine Shop cars, the RSX, Cooper and Civic, except that theirs were mural like. Good job though, Keeps us posted with the end project.

Here is a before pic. It has been at the shop for three months and I have a long list of mods that have been completed in that time frame. It will look nothing like this now.

That is the Blue Ice Hotness. It looks like it will be getting a lot of attention.
