The panel paint had hardened off a bit today and I start looking at the problems. Difficult to see from the photo, but the running out of paint did result in patch dry / sandy areas but probably managable.
However when I started looking at the cut outs the thickness of the paint is starting to become a problem and a couple of areas chipped badly. The conclusion was rub down (again) and open some of the holes just slightly.
Got the process sorted now (too much practice) but it is coming up really well.
Hopefully the last top coat for the panel - it went on quite well - tomorrow we will see the results.
One improvement to the method is to bring the work straight inside and cover with a lid - this reduces the dust.
