Actually I tried that but it became such a huge pain to tape everything off, and I tested the tape before I painted the black and sure enough it started to lift the white off so I resprayed it white and ended up painting the black entirely by hand with a super fine detail brush. It was a pain in the ass and pretty time consuming, because if you slip and get too much black on the white you're in big trouble. Just take your time and it will turn out fine, just remember to keep a little of the main color around to touch up with a toothpick if need be. Remember to clear it with a few coats and you're all set. I've seen a couple on ebay that had been painted by hand and the guy must have had Parkinson's or something because there were streaks and smudges all in the "Vortec" circle, so just take your time and it'll look badass, my buddy likes it a lot and I was pretty happy with it..I'm not sure if someone has a better way to do this but it worked for me and gives the best results IMO..
