Thanks for the positive comments guys  ^^^

Today i finished up the last of the touchups, just a few spots of yellow, and one of the match numbers which needed attention. And ALL backlit areas so not quite so straightforward to do!! Once again just by carefully brushing the paint in, one coat at a time and building up the thickness to try to match the translucency of the original paint as well as matching the colour. The yellow matched straight out of the tube as i said in my previous posts, the light blue in the match area i had to mix up and match as best as i could (had to mix some white in, as the blue was a slightly too dark straight out of the tube),  after a couple of attempts i got it pretty close.

The yellow touchups came up pretty good when backlit, the blue in the match number section, not quite as good as i would've liked, but its acceptable i think, and only shows up a bit if that number is lit up, it cant be noticed when that lamp is off (before it stood out like dogs balls)!!
