Looks great! Who did your paint? People rarely do flat colors that well and evenly. Especially for under $200.

Wellyou did a great job. I think what most people fail to realize is the importance of patience between coats and a good wetsand. They want to see that panel black NOW not spotted black-ish THEN black with some spots of underlying color, and then black so they go back and fourth dousing the area in wet paint until it's black entirely. Unless I'm wrong too then I just don't know what you did but I admire your technique. That finish looks great in that pic.
