    Primer is pretty tricky, to really pull it off, you have to "rat rod" your truck, lower it, get the moon eyes, maybe some pin stripe work. On a stock looking car, it just looks poor and busted.

    You could always do a matte or satin finish on the blue paint, that way you have a hybrid of the two. Lots of the VW's are going with the satin look now.
