Nah man you've got this. If the quality of work so far is anything to go by, you'll nail the black.
UPDATE:
Great success! Black coats are on, and my tin is empty. I managed to squeeze a mist coat, and four full coats out of the can, which should be more than enough, I'm hoping. Not sure when I will remove the tape yet (want plenty of dry time first) but I am so very excited to see whether the masking has worked. But, here it is, in all its glory whilst still taped:

Any pointers from the pros as to when I should think about tape removal?
Cheers lads (and ladies).

Straight after the tack has gone, did you use a 3m straight edge tape or straight with masking tape? If no straight edge tape then very lightly run a blade around your mask. For bleed free lines you should be using a bleed free straight edge tape.

Now you've got me worried. :P

Something had to go right for me in at least one of my builds, and I am over the moon that it was this that worked!
Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, may I present to you, my WASP!
