used tape and a very good eye to get the lines a perfect circle. if doing your self good luck lol i dont know how you are going to make them shiny with out spraying clear coat

so did you do like the others and paint it body color first then mark off the areas you wanted yellow with like thin painters tape? then spray it black, remove the tape and spray it clear.
