no hurry on pics Doc, I'd say your spraying technique has improved and you have learnt better to stop spraying before you get paint runs. I have found I am still improving my painting technique looking up and down the body at different angles to see how much paint has been applied and looking for areas light on and avoiding areas that are heavy

Here's what the front looks like, notice the two small close-together divots, I'm not going to worry about them, I'll call it custom relicing:
And here's what the back looks like:
The thing I've noticed most about the White Knight Super Gold paint that I've used is that it is quite prone to tarnishing if you so much as touch or wipe the surface with a finger, it must have copper in it, or a copper based additive or pigment, since copper tends to tarnish if you touch it with your fingers, that's something I'll have to be careful of till the surface gets clear-coated.
