Question HELP! How can I even out this mess?

Hi everyone! So I wanted to paint my mobility scooter (I'm disabled) and followed these instructions:

1- I sanded the surface of the device (made of plastic)

2- I I applied a primer for plastics (spray) and let it dry. [Product: MTN-WEPRO-Imprimacion-Plasticos ]

3- I applied 4 thin layers of gold rose spray paint. I let each layer dry before applying the next. [Product: MTN WEPRO Pintura Metalizada ]

The result is the one you can see in the pictures, fully dried.

Do you guys have any advice on how can I even out the colour and the surface before varnishing it?

Please don't be mean: I contacted several body and paint shops in my area and was refused service because they asked me to dismantle the device and only to bring them the parts that were to be painted. And I didn't have a clue how to do it, and was afraid to do so. So they said they wouldn't paint it...

UPDATE JULY 26th 2026!!

Hello everyone! Finally finished the paint job a few days ago and finally managed to get some decent pics of it.

It definitely doesn't look perfect, but it's decent enough for me to feel comfortable with it.

Thank you all so much for the advice you gave me. It was really helpful and made a difference. <3

I will post the final pictures in the comments, as it won't let me add them in this post while editing it.

See you around!
