It definitely looks a lot darker, and not really orange enough...although one would have to see it in person to really make an accurate judgement on something like that...

In for a full body shot

well, I am in late, but basecoats always tend to look darker and "muted" without the clear.

As for the overspray.... oh god... if you are under my car, looking at my wishbones or subframe, then you are way too close and you need to back the F off...

However... they should have removed your hood latch... that was sloppy.

I have never been a fan of oranges on cars, but that looks good... nice choice!
