Hey that looks pretty good, though I think the gamma is washing out the image a bit.

I don't know what to do about your image, I'd say theres transparency on it, or something. I have no idea.

But the car looks good, could use a bit more reflection and a more glossy feel but it looks good.

That body paint program looks pretty interesting, how is the program to use and how is the transition between maya to body paint back to maya?

well you could render the car sitting on a plane with a 'use background' shader and save that as a file that saves alpha like a .tif or .tga - then open the original background image in photoshop and import the car render onto a new layer...

Accept no substitutions.
