Amateur and sketchy is not the same thing as custom! People here are just calling out what it is.
However, I applaud the poster for the effort at learning and improving their skill and car..but, technique and finish needs improvement. Next attempt I would advise cutting a poster board pattern and tracing it onto a sticky paper directly on the car then cutting out the design as well as covering up the rest of the car a little better to avoid overspray on the hood. I noticed some wavy edges where the pattern wasn't very straight and saw the overspray you mentioned. The primer wasn't sanded all that smooth either. The edges of the hood and fender are a little rough too and could use some bodywork.
Still I think trying to do it all on your own is pretty cool and is the only way you'll really learn.

I completly agree with you.
Ignore the idiots and take compliments from the rest
