Is there a way to make the black on the rear appear more cohesive (not sure if that's the correct word). The patchwork look is a bit jarring. I think the frontend looks good

You have a good eye. Phase two is to blackout everything above the character lines.
Tradionally, the hood, cowl, and tops of the front fenders were painted with Black Crackle. Only the areas that would cause reflection for the driver or navigator. It was a factory option on the AMC Javelin in the 1970s. Its use went away as the hood became prime real estate for advertising.
I had three street/rally cars painted this way in my youth. It really helped when working into the sun. It was almost impossible to clean as the "tooth" in the paint will pick up lint from a cloth or paper towel.
A lot of aircraft come this way from the factory. A reflection could cause the pilot to miss something that could "ruin their whole day."

Fortunately the satin black vinyl on my car doesn't have much tooth, but it does have much black. Saturday morning, I washed my car. When I got back home in the evening, the trunk and hood were covered in pollen. I was able to remove it with my California duster, but still...
Even better than before and the pinstripe finishes it off nicely .Congratulations ,sometimes these schemes can be overdone ,but I like that you've gone right to the line ( or pinstripe LOL )

Yeah. Thanks. The pinstripe was necessary to tie it all together.
