Talking Before and after paint on the engine lid pics

I figured I'd post this since I rarely paint anymore and wont have many shots of my work until I get a place with a garage..This is the engine lid from the targa.. the paint had a 3"x3" place that the paint had popped off and I decided I couldnt stand it (not that I put it off long) and I have all the stuff to do it but, dont work in a shop anymore....just borrowed a garage.
Pic sanded down to the primer before repair and finish primed and then finished painting...Still need to buff!!.. I'm going to let it set up till wed but, definitely do it before I get to far outside the cure window so it still buffs well thanks for looking....

The rest seems to be holding up well.. shines well in general- 5ft away looks just fine to me.... the only thing else would be the rock chips on the front that might need something soon.. then where do I stop... I'm going to leave it alone for a while. I'll wait untill I have my own garage to take my time and dismantle the whole thing .... there are definitely little things on every panel that I woulndt mind fixing.. rock chip here and there and ding every so often but, it looks good enough for now. It's been painted so anything I paint on it needs to be stripped down about 6mils to paint over.. it's at the max thickness now.
Thanks for looking!
