And that's a fine looking dipstick you got on top of them.

General rules.....plastic jugs labeled "paint thinner" are usually mineral spirits. Mineral Spirits leaves a slight oil residue when dry. Some enamels can be sprayed over dried/wiped mineral spirits, some enamels can't. You said that your paint dried fast, probably lacquer. Mineral spirits is usually death for lacquer. Pre-Cleaning with alcohol paint thinner risks removing the previous paint. Pre-cleaning with Iso alcohol is a safer bet, it will remove wax, oil and silicone. Way back when, or not that long ago we pre-cleaned and even bathed in Toluene, some got cancer, maybe even myself.
Not your case, but, spray enamel over lacquer or enamel. Do not spray lacquer over enamel.

Well done Bob!
...but does Madam know that you were out in the garage doing that?
Wouldn’t it be a shame if....someone...you know...told her.....?

I smell momentum building!
That clutch cable looks factory Bob. What paint did you use?
Great news on the clutch and paint.
My case cover better not give me any lip, or I'll take a file to it.

Indeed, I was going to ask as well. I can’t imagine it was easy to get a paint that would stick to a cable sheath.
