I'm going to replace the CPO on my SFII Z-back, and I'm not sure how to handle the cut corners. Normally, I would strip, prime, and paint the control panel, then apply the overlay. On this one, I'll need to trim the overlay to these cut corners:

The black part is just paint, and I'm afraid I'll mess up the new paint when I'm trimming the overlay away. So here are the options I was considering.
1) Strip, prime, paint -> install overlay -> trim and hope for the best (normal way)
2) Install overlay -> mask and paint black corners after
3) Powder coat -> install overlay -> trim and hope for the best
You guys got any secrets for this?
