Thank you very much.
Happy with it, for what it is.

When brushing the paint on, the one I learned from painters is that you paint the edges of the tape line (in this case vinyl stars) with the base color first so that what seeps under the vinyl is the white. Let that dry and your edges are sealed so that you can paint the blue over top. And no blue will seep under because the white already did the seeping. Make sense? Regardless, you did a nice job on it. Lots of good detail in the new carport.

BRILLIANT TIP !!
Obviously with just using a roller, and gloss paint from a tin, your tip would have worked perfectly.
The white is a really quick drying paint as well. So would have worked brilliantly overnight.
Still, we learn every day.
I am planning on blanking some of the seepage with a very thin brush before I hang the door.
It has been a pleasure doing this door.
Once I get to the phase of adding a Gas Station frontage to the front edge of the carport, it may come together nicely too.
