i did two of primer and three of paint. it helps if you can lift the back up. i wasnt able to lift it and didnt feel like taking the bumper off but it wasnt too bad

with automotive masking tape, 3/8" is a good width to use.

painted the groove too..
taping is the tricky part. gotta have a steady hand.
i think if i left the groove, it woulda gave it a "lip look" so i painted it as well
