Help me do a sizzler hood please!

I have a set of matte black stripes and I'm wondering how to paint the center blackout. Do I apply the stripes, then paint and hope the reducer doesn't make a mess out of the inside tape stripe?

Should I mask it off so the body color/blackout transition is covered by the inside stripe? I'm planning to use John Deere (valspar enamel) 'Blitz Black' for my wing, scoop, and blackout. I used it before and it has a nice satin look with amazing durability and colorfastness in the sun.

Haha don't judge me but Im doing '03 Ford medium platinum metallic for a body color. Should be a little different. I'm looking for more sinister than easter egg, not that I wasnt tempted to do sassy grass or purple.

Any tips on the sizzler paint/order of operations would be highly appreciated!
