I would get it following the contour (bolted up), then remove it and paint it separately. But I have seen LOTS of cars with painted piping. Up to you really.

At least you won't have difficulty tracing the correst colour piping

all cloours are lovely, as long as it's black!

Personally I would not spray the beading . The material should be etched and a plastisiser added to the paint to allow it to flex. If you don't then the paint will just split and fall off. You could loosen the wing bolts and move the wing about 20mm from the body, this will allow enough space to mask the beading. Once you have sprayed simply remove the masking and re- tighten the bolts.
