Before anyone makes the suggestion, I don't use the expensive Tamiya tape. Scotch tape does the job for me and saves some money.
One way to mask this circular shape is to use many small pieces of marked Scotch tape.
Brown utility masking tape surrounded the masked canopy. All the remaining light gray will be covered before spraying with black.
Before spraying the second color,
TIP: Go around the edges with a Q-tip to seal the edges. This give a softer, more even pressure than a fingernail could.
Be careful, note some of the ink from the tape has come off on the Q-tip. Rotate the Q-tip and don't transfer that ink onto the paint.
I decided to paint the nose of the shroud gloss black and the canopy metallic black.
The mask line towards the front of the shroud wasn't perfect. I had to go and do some "paint line pushing" and touch up to get the line sharper.
