Looks like you are getting on nicely...for some tips and ideas on how to blend the paint and show others what is involved, can I recommend looking for videos by a guy called JIMMO4LIFE on Youtube.
He has got some good videos on there with text subtitles to explain as he goes. |

I know I'll have to blend some because it's definitely going to be noticeable. |
