A package arrived in the mail from Gavin with my Stencils to complete this section (thanks Gav). It is only a circle, but I wanted the finished job to look perfect. Just a recap - I ended up painting the ENTIRE section - all colors and all lines. The lines took HOURS to finish and I had to redo sections. I'm glad I did this, as the results speak for themselves.
Here's the section prior to the repaint ;

Here's the section after I completed the repaint. I have not cleared it yet - I only finished this off yesterday ;

That's a MASSIVE improvement and I had a massive sensee of achievement and satisfaction. Very happy

Gavin once told me that "once you finish one area, you find the next area to improve" - well how right is that. I'm going to tackle the areas in front of the slings. I can't get away with a touch up - so I'm going to repaint the entire light blue section. I have to do this as areas are lighter than others - the color is not uniform. I have the confidence and skills to at least attempt it.
Here's my final repaint areas ;

I'm looking forward to the challenge !
