Default Thinking about changing the color again.

I am considering painting the car again. I was pissed with the scratches that stared showing when I painted it a few weeks ago so I am now thinking about going with a new color and doing it again. I may go back to Aztec Green or possibly going white. If you have any other suggestions post them up. Here is a pic of the color now.

Thanks I am just so upset with it. The car looks like ***. You can scratches all over
the place. I haven't finished the jams or under the hood yet so it will be easy to change.

Yeah I did it but the guy I bought it from did the original prep work and primered the car. Well I wet sanded and sprayed it. When I started laying on the paint so much **** started coming up out of nowhere.
