70-71 340 unsilenced air cleaner finish question

I'm on my third attempt on this base, I got he lid on my second try. The first time I think I tried to much time between coats. The second time I did the base first, and messed it up , but on the lid I reduced the heat on the heat gun, and it turned out good. This time on the base, I will go with the lower temp again, and hope it turns out. I'm using VHT for the record.
