Time for another update::

1st pic shows the next area i would be fixing.. Originally i planned only on redoing the fluoro orange here and leaving the white as it was, it was ok with only slight pinhole wear spots. But i decided to redo it as well for a couple of reasons; One so it would match the rest of the already repainted white areas, and two; since i had to paint a white basecoat for the orange it just made sense to just do the lot white and then mask off and spray on the orange, which would make things easier and give a better end result.

After giving the area a light sand back wwith 400 grit wet&dry, first thing i had to do was to trace the area onto tracing paper so i could mark in later where the 'special' text and where the bits to be painted orange and pink had to be masked off. I ended up utilising a little trick i had used on the Wildfyre pf, by going over the black line marked area with a fine sharpie pen before spraying on the white. Sharpie ink has a tendancy to bleed back up thru paint a bit so i make use of that to give me a guide later on as to where the black lines and markings are, (did this for the "special" text and the pink triangled area around the "start clock" text. Anyway after sanding and masking off for the white, i had to wipe the area with Prepsol first and THEN do the black sharpie where i wanted it to show thru the paint.

4th pic shows after the white had been sprayed.. the sharpied markings are hard to see due to the camera flash but they showed up enough for me to use them later on.
