Bad paint job Help!!
Like everybody said, get oem tails and get rid of that blue tint.
You have two options. Either have it re-painted or vinyl wrapped. But make sure you take it to the reputable shop this time.
You've learned a lesson to do it right the first time. Learn from mistakes

And are your splash guards and side skirts Chrome Silver where as your body panels are Silverstone? Thats what it looks like in the picture.
3 tone? Whatever it is. Go back to 1 tone, and if anything use subtle accents to bring out another color.
For example i have a silverstone z with sun burnt orange seats, my calipers and lug nuts are now also orange. Simple and clean.

I think the key to modifying is to make the car look aggressive but understated at the same time. By this I mean to people who don't own the car, it almost looks stock. I currently need to get mine repainted and am going with the Nismo V2 bumper. Then it's some coilovers, motordyne exhaust components, akebono brake kit, and then I can finally hit up all the little details which make or break the overall fit and finish of the car.
The only time flashy works is when you have dumped about $40,000 into the car and it's just so over the top it works.

I actually feel bad for you man. You might have made some bad modding choices, but that just sucks about the roof. I'd take it to a reputable body shop and explain the situation and have them look over the car. Best of luck.
So you ask help about the paint, but don't give a picture that shows the problems in the paint? That's kinda like putting blue reverse lights, and eBay bubble tail lights on a Z and not expecting to get made fun of.
So first of all, I'm new to the the forum. Got my z back in July and have been loving it. I started modding a little, exhaust, cai, cf intake duct, taillights, headlights and recently decided I wanted to take a huge step and paint the roof and hatch black. My buddy goes to new England tech and said could bring it in and have it looking nice. Well he failed and now I have a black orange on my roof lol. Also the mirrors have drip spots all over it. He says he can buff It out, but honestly I dont trust the kid with my car now. I've heard wet sanding will get rid of the orange peel, but I would like some suggestions before I try to fix this problem. The paint is gloss black, no clear coat 

Here's some stuff I painted.
