For the myriad of panels and colors I chose not to do any masking because the contrast is too harsh. I instead made templates on index cards based on the small shapes found on the actual studio model. This template was then used to cover the secondary hull, neck, and warp engines with different colored panels. The same process was used to create templates for the Aztec Pattern on the primary hull. The very complicated painting around the connecting dorsal and the navigational deflector array took the longest of all the painting because of the complexity and number of colors used. All painting was done before final assembly.
