Let base coat dry over night. Wet sand 1000 grit, let dry then apply 2-3 coats of midcoat(aka pearl).

This is the weirdest thing, like I'm literally asking myself, "is this cool?" And I have no idea how to answer. Its like I can't even form a subjective opinion about it. Paint looks nice tho, so good job there.

Nice job.
You should paint the chrome strip on the trunk too, I think its throwing things off a bit.

I agree with Polishthrust..paint the chrome lip and will look much cleaner,nice job man.Seems the wing flows pretty well with the rear body lines.
