touch up on the places when the paint went out of line.
and keep the steering wheel black with the orange accent.
that's all the suggestions i can think of now.
and do creative masking to paint the body instead of brushes to do the second color.

That is an original project, never seen this car done before. The interior color is great. 10/10 so far. Don't screw up the color, no pressure, just don't screw up the color lol.

its all cleaned up now, just throwing in up there, the wheels will stay like it is then, i no longer hand paint the bodys, but the masking will be hard dont know if i should lay bown the black first or the orange
