Blue painters tape. Believe it or not, the 1" wide is EXACTLY wide enough to cover the chrome rim, so with careful positioning, it was covered with one piece.
for the flat contact points I cover it with tape and trim close to the edge with a utility knife. It is ok if there is some paint around the edges it cleans off EASY if the main area is still steel. Then Dremel buff (I still need to do that part on these)
Sorry, Last night Cathy(Mizkaki) came by with a gift and a new toy to show off, So I had to show off my new toys (the two new handcranks) and so last night was pretty much shot.... hehe BTW the toy was an original Singer VS2 1887 buttonholer WITH it original wooden box, instructions, and chisel... TOO cool.
