You look like you're gonna need new tires soon...

Anyways... I would've left the caps silver to go with your paint, but I guess you could also say they go with the trim on your seats too.

But overall, the quality of the paintjob looks nice... good job.

Nice job on the painting although,
1. Lower
2. Get rid of that blue center cap, it really looks out of place.
