Thanks guys!
When the paint wrinkled on me I really wanted to smash it on the ground. In the end though I'm glad I was able to just walk away from it and go back a few months later with a fresh outlook. The tinted coat is a little blotchy in some areas, but thats due to me trying to get tricky while buffing.
I've also got an old pearl guard in my parts box that I might put on it when I do the final set up.

I will be thrilled if mine turns out that well. I am going to have to monkey around getting the stripes right.
Actually, could you post a few straight on shots of one of your factory stripes?

I posted a bunch of pictures in
THIS thread. Page 4 shows the starting point on the butt end. I ended up centering the outer most stripe on the strap button.

The flake in the LPB was kickass and gave a real deep look. I felt pretty confident on how the paint flowed, so I started painting the Mustang. It was Ok I guess, but nothing like how the Swinger turned out. I then started looking at pictures of Sherwood Green and sooooo realized - I hate that fucking color. It is not at all what I thought it would look like and not nearly as metal flakey as I wanted.
I let it dry and went back to the drawing board by sanding and priming.....again.
Wait a second. now wait just an effin second! Is that a white AK47 with a mustang bridge on it, on the left hand side of the pic in front of the blonde duo/stang?

Rod, can you please post pics of your other Mustang's in this thread or direct me to a thread with them in? A friend of mine loves 'stangs (especially in comp orange) and wants to see.
