Oh man, now you gotta paint the air lid shroud underneath it! Less black, more pewter!

Seems odd that the lid has such a 'wavy ocean' look. Is that because of the previous paintwork?

That's the plastic. SLP's lids aren't very flat.

OP: You shoulda used a thin layer of fiberglass filler to cover that wavy look. Then primer.

I'll remember that when I come across my next one. Doesn't bother me at all

Like was mentioned earlier, if you prep it fine these rattle can paints will last. The rattle can clear coat is what you have to watch out for though. It's really soft and scratches easily.
