Custom paint and color changing cf

Well im a painter at a dealership so I wanted somthing new for a color. I went with PPG's "Blue-to-Red" I looked at a lot of colors and thought about Chameleon Paint but it all ways looks "green to purple" and thats not what I wanted. I was thinking blue or red and doing some cf and black wheels. So when my rep called me and said "we just got some blue-to-red in" I bought some to try out and loved it. Let me know what you guys think

Oh and I moulded on my grill to the bumer, shaved the side marker lights and cut the oem bumper in half and droped it 2"(still putting a small lip) cut out the oem grills and put my own in, and moulded the rear sport mud flaps on the rear bumper

Here is the cf parts, I put them on and new they had to be different some how. So I was thinking this paint has to be sprayed over black to work. But cf is different shdes of gray, so only the dark squars would change (in theory) So I started by masking of part of the trunk were I wanted it to be solid color and the rest of the cf I want to see, but have a hint of blue or red.

Sanded down and washed.

Then I gave all of it three "light coats" to give it the hint of color.

The cf roof and tint, and black wheels really make the color look good imo.
