Perfection of one's work in restoring maybe anal, but excellent work is always rewarded.
How to accomplish it now, Q-tips, and Wal Mart Carb Cleaner, lots of patience, (short version) or strip it down, mask it up carefully, and paint again. There really is no time limit on restoring something the way you'd like it to be.
