My first paint job
I think it came out okay. i screwed up on a few things though. Probably shouldnt have painted the windows red but I can always cut them out. Also alot of paint ran under my masking 
And I put alot more black into the flames then I wanted, I really need an airbrush. heres some pictures.

RE: My first paint job
Well the flames are supposed to be a fade. dark red up front fading to black. so i covered the whole inside of the body with masking tape and then cut out the flames. then i painted on the black, heavy at the back and lighter at the front but i put on way too much. theres no overspray but some of the black paint snuck under the tape. it looks like cracks. then i think i painted the red on too soon because it kinda made the black flames wash out a little. Next time ill spend alot more time on it.
P.S. I was sitting here and the red windows were nagging at me so i had to paint them silver on the outside. it looks alot better (from a distance). It doesnt really matter though im going to take it bashing tomorrow. My buddy has been filming my truck when i go out but i have no idea how to compress or host the videos yet.

Not bad...I planning on painting my first body soon also
Don't worry about the windows. IMO, you'll want the side windows out to make fueling easier anyway and possibly the front window for cooling.
Tire to scratch it up now
