Wow, that looks great!
Now I know I'm painting the lower and covers.
I have been on the fence.
You don't need to go tubular, these look good when smoothed out.
Next time you do work to it, shave off the tab on the side and the casting flash.
Look closely at mine, and you'll see I even shortened the bolt bosses at front and rear.
It's a little detail, but really smooths out the look, without even being obvious as to why.
