Painting TorqThrusts

[Bridgebuster]

I keep seeing really nicely done American (and similar) TorqThrust wheels with the spokes gunmetal gray and the rin being a bright silver alloy. I'd like to hear from several of you how you do such a good job without having the least bit of paint get past the masking however you do it. In other words, I'd like to know how to mask and paint the wheels to get such a great professional result.

Thanks for any and all tips.

Phil I had these Torque Thrusts Chrome then I hadn Painted the spokes useing Testors Model Master Steel. Since the Chrome is impervious to thinner it was easy to clean up any mistakes.

Thanks gents!! I'll just have to be slow and steady. With my horrendous eyesight and light tremors in my hands, this ought to be a real challenge.
