Don't worry about it.
I think I applied the paint, and then had to rub down and repaint, at least 4 times!
One thing I will do different this time is to fill in more of the bottom end(sharp end) of the scoop. As, at the moment, I notice I have a bit of a muck trap inside there.

Yep that's exactly what I should have done - will do this time!That is one bit I think I got right - I put quite a bit of filler inside the bottom of the scoop and smoothed it out so that any water caught in the scoop can easily get out.

The scoops are complete - I rubbed down and reapplied the lacquer. Once that dried I fitted the mesh.
Original air intake surrounds
New scooped intakes
I cant wait now to get these fitted to the car, but that will have to wait until Wednesday night - pics to follow....................

That's great, Paul. Well done!
Don't forget my fitting tip, it makes it so much easier!
Incidentally I am just waiting for the glue to dry on my second set before filling.
