Not to be an A hole but on these pics the white has brush strokes? Why didn't you spray? Or did you? Maybe if you add some coats it will even out! Good luck.. Great idea though. I like it!

I added some coats and it evened it out. I would have spreayed it but my brother has the air brush at his house now.
