here's my newly finished project. took three days.
other than the rear wheel being turned you have a good chop...But i would make the black graphics look a little more like they are on the truck!
i like the colors!

thanks for the criticism. i sorta noticed the back wheel but at the risk of making it look flat i just left it as is. i used a different method than usual for the graphics and when i tried to go back later i had already merged the layers. i always seem to have trouble adding black graphics for some reason. maybe if i added some refelections it may look a bit more realistic
stay away from the dark background...it's drowning the truck.
nice lookin chop minus the wheels. both are turned and wouldnt be possible at that height. the graphic needs some shading. try control clicking your graphic layer, then turn it off. copy merge then paste. make sure its lined back up and then change ur green to black in the hue/saturation section by selecting green and droppin the saturation and darken it a lil. you might have to play with brightness/contrast after that. but itll give it a better appearance of a painted graphic.

actually the paint scheme was just three layers. all three were the lighter green on bottom. i took the middle layer and made it that darker green and masked it to just a two tone. then i completely turned the top layer to a desaturated black and masked it to the selection of the graphic. in other words, with the masks disabled i have three full paint jobs: a dark green, a light green, and a black. seems like this method would kinda cover what you suggested?
thanks a lot for the criticism, i'm always willing to learn how to fix something on my chops.
