You win Especially with such crappy pics, I was in a hurry. I contemplated doing the edges or doing that + the small inside lip (not entire lip!). If I would have done the small lip it would have been more noticable but maybe too noticable for my tastes so I left it like this. I can always add color, I cant take back sanding down the machining on the lips. Good eye...

Looks Good! Now, here comes the million dollar questions, how did you do it? by hand? and what paint did you use?....and I KNOW it had to be tedious.
