Custom painted lip OEM sport spoiler please look, I need lots of opinions

Thanks guys. I think it can be pulled off if properly done. I will use pinstripe masking tape to shape it more precisely and adjust he angle/width of the black strip. I have a tattoo with similar curves in certain areas and it looks great. I am picturing some sort of batman boomerang type shape if that makes any sense to you guys.

Start from the corners with a thinner width and then progressively making it larger as it continues to the other side which will be identical. It's kind of a neat project and will cost me less than 10$ as I already have the necessary materials minus the paint.

I will make sure to take better pics after I am finished. This will be done by the end of this weekend.

One question, when do you guys suggest pulling the masking tape? Instantly after the last coat? Or when left to dry 24 hours. With my many blunders and painting experience, the first way seems to work best, just thought I would ask if anyone knew any reliable tricks.

Thanks again
