Holy crap! in a garage no less 
i have to say im impressed.
i got some questions though.. why did you prime it like you did?
And how did the clear coat turn out? it would blow my mind if you didnt have to do much polishing (only because of the lack of airflow in a garage)
or did you send it out for clearing? i have heard of people doing all the base work then sending the car out for the Clear... I know oh a Custom shop that does it that way
Anyway looks goos man, wee need sone finished pics

That looks awesome. To be honest that was the same way I was going to paint mine except I was going to do thinner silver line with candy over to look transitional into the blue. I guess I have to figure another way. Back to the drawing board. It really looks great.
