if i was you. id paint the whole thing black, always dragging the brush 1 way if possible for a smooth paint job, and then do the silver afterwards in the same manner.

if you do the lines first and then try to paint around them, you will probably have to paint in all different directions and then the paint will overlap and wont look as clean as if you do it the first way i suggested. especially if you are going to take a pic with a good quality camera. trust me i know from experience, painting technique can really show sometimes.
