Looks great! Congratulations! Paint is probably one of the most expensive/hardest to get done part of restoring. It's hard finding a good paint and body shop that won't break the bank yet takes pride in what they do. Most shops won't even look at resto work-around here anyways. It's easier for shops to replace and paint a bumper cover, fender and hood on a newer car and charge $6k and take a day to do. Then they look at a resto project and give you a $12k price estimate. Here in NM it's near impossible to find a trustworthy paint and body source.
