I laquered the windows on my 1st one (pic in post above) as I thought it would be fine. Also the paint chiped off a little when you opened the doors (still get that today)

Personally, It doesnt matter if theres a mistake or its not perfect. Im just pleased with what ive done as my skill level isnt the same as others on here.
