Did you not remove the rubber on the doors? Also not sure if you've heard of something called trim tape but its good for the rubber on the boot window, it pushes behind it and then sticks against the glass pulling the rubber back so paint can get behind it

Yes in garage - and yes doing it myself...
The paintwork on the bonnet isn't great, but aint been done properly yet, thats just the first coat of black..Got another two coats and then a coat of laquer...It will be fine once T-cut and Polished up...
It came out fine last time I did it (front wing) with no orange peel e.t.c.
