Excellent job. I love the OD over bare metal look on Mustangs.

Beautiful.

I might (or might not) consider a tiny sheen to the OD. 
 Maybe.

Dramatic improvement over the original--which was good in its own right.

Thanks guys.

There is a tiny sheen, but I think your eyes are true; it could stand to be increased.   I upped the specularity for the OD paint by 40%, and I think it looks good.    But I've already submitted the skin for update, and I'm not sure how this works.  The original Update to the skin was the full file set - all the maps plus some reference images and thumbnail image, etc. 

Now I just have a change to the spec file - so do I go into the update section and do another update, selecting only the newest Spec map file?  Or should I resubmit all the files again?

I went ahead and re-submitted all the files, just to be on the safe side.   Seemed to work OK.
