No apologies needed. That is a great job.

It's great to see such a fine paint finish. That's what a paint surface should look like.

Well done.

Mission accomplished, I'd say.

No need to apologise, it's your engine and you can do anything you want with it. I like shiny brass too. This looks terrific.
