I'm surprised the bumper and lip wasn't removed to be fully sprayed.
Looks great though.

Oh man, hope the oil issue isn't an ......issue. :?
On the plus side, the paint looks 8-) I really must do something similar at some point, but @RattyMcClelland decided he doesn't like St Albans any more... :(
