Geo Metro Chop

I need some pointers please. What am I not doing? Some of you guys' chops turn out looking damn close to real.... mine still looks airbrushed?

looks cool

Nice job man, love it, though the doorhandle should be otherwise (this is what I think, might look cool to other people)

if you want more realism, lower the saturation of the color alittle.

A G35/CLio - nice body meld; came out well.
