You don't really need a white undercoat when the assembly pieces are black. A white undercoat helps brighten any lighter or "transparent" color. With black it doesn't make much difference.
On the left is the black underbelly "tank". Look close and you can see how rough the tube still is after the first black coat. Let it dry and sand a bit with 400 grit. Follow with another coat of black
The centering ring edges need to be free of paint to adhere when the mount is finally glued in place.
To mask the forward end of the mount, a ring of tape was set over the edge of the rear ring followed by some paper taped on over that first ring of tape.
An used engine casing was slid into the mount to keep the black spray paint out of the mount tube.
