Thank you, I am really glad you like it. Now I have added the roof and the rear. Nearly finished the whole car. I am really wanting to know what people think of the back before I go and finish :D Still a very long way to go, so please - I do know that it is not finished.

It's meant to be flat, it's matte. You don't have reflections in matte paint..

actually you do but they are not as defined as normal gloss paint
in here the paint does not fit at all into the lighting and i would suggest trying to build upon the old paint rather than doing something totally new since the lighting is so complex for it
Actually matte paint does reflect, but it just look alot more scattered/ blurred and it's not shiny like a mirror reflecting everything.

Have a look at a few paint reference and you'll know what I mean

Right now I think your wip is looking promising, but the paint does look a bit patchy (as in the doors/ rear quarter panel doesn't mix together smoothly), maybe some smudging to blend the brushing together.

Heres an amazing tutorial my mate Sn- made for me along time ago, see if it helps you http://www.autemo.com/forums/?t=4399&p=1

I will be fixing that, the patches. But that tutorial has helped me, and those pictures have shown me more of what I am aiming for. So thank you :)

I am going for a challenge, nordic. Need something to show that I can't just copy and paste -as people say.

Here's the latest update; (I will be tackling the patches in the door and other parts, but hopefully- this looks alot better now I have done something about the lighting..)
