Looks good, very satisfying painting it yourself. It's the part that really transforms the car.

I would suggest by hand as if you see what I did with my mk1 I did the whole car by hand flatting back then bringing the shine back with compound. If you use a mop you can easily burn through the layer when using the compound use a spray bottle or damp cloth that will help with the compound. (Before and after on my front end)
