masking and cleaning up the shoulders

Paint finish shows slight residue from the masking tape and areas where the paint has seeped through

Gold spray paint applied to raised detail

Despite best efforts, the gold car paint has seeped through my masking on the shoulder pieces. This is probably due to the runny consistency of the paint when sprayed. To clean up the finish, I have used a fine brush and small pots of acrylic paint to help bring out the faded blues tones and cover any mistakes. Tape residue came of easily enough though I also had to use fine sandpaper where the paint had clotted. Once I was happy with the paint finish, I sprayed the whole piece with clear lacquer to preserve the colour and provide a glossy coat the the piece.
