Very clean.

As far as the color....... What color is that "hand lotion"?

If you like it, that's all that matters. Again, very clean!

I like it. Not too big on the wheels, but car looks good.

I like it man, in fact I was actually thinking about doing a color very similar to this in the future only a little more cool gray to it.

Different, thats why i like it.

I like the color, I only wish there was more light in the pictures to get the full effect of the paint job. Because it looks to me like there is a ton of pearl in the paint.

I love those rims but i think they only look good on black or blue cars.... something dark. Your car is original thats for sure..... I like it, please don't tell me that you wanted pearl white and thats what you got...

not really feeling the paint job, but it might be the picture. (try getting some better ones next time) but it might be that the grill on the bumper is painted, but overall clean, i suggest getting some different rims.

Since u didnt paint the side skirts, i think the molding or door handles shouldnt have been painted aswell. It would look better and the grill should not have been painted.

yeah i like that paint a lot it is a very clean look, it looks like a stock lincoln color or something, i don't know about that front bumper and side skirts though if you painted the lip on the bumper why didn't you paint the side skirts that's just my .02 it just looks a little funny in the pictures. But all that matters is if you like how it looks.

I like it, would be nice to see the full effect of the paint, but it's very clean looking. Nice choice!

nice.... I bet it will attract alot of women because they love colors! especially when its bright.. well you shoulda kept the bottom grill black.. I say you paint the front lip black also so it matches your side skirts

Shouldn't have painted the bumper grill and the foglight cutout section on the bumper, and I would've painted the sideskirts too. Otherwise its an alright color, not really my cup of tea though. Get some close ups of the paint with a fluorescent light over it so we can see the quality of the work.
