Me no speaky that language.
Seriously, I don't get it, this has been the first time I used Gimp for something else then deleting a power line on a landscape so... I really suck... Could you show me on the car ?
(I could upload my gimp file but I wonder if it wouldn't be better to start from scratch)
You did a pretty good job with the black paint. Attached an example that shows:
1) the clean lines you get when using paths (see the Path dialog)
2) Painting on a layer which is in "Overlay" mode, so that the paint inherits some structure from the initial layer.
(example is a compressed XCF file, Gimp reads it natively, no need to uncompress first).
