Paint the cowl as you would if you were painting the whole airplane. Tape it off at the rear of the glass, but make sure to sand and fill the gap nicely.

Now just overlap the monokote about 1/4". You have to be careful...it has to be stuck down GOOD, without burning it. It's not too hard but you have to pay attention.

This makes a seam there. Answer? Graphics. The prototype was done this way. It's an artist's trick, you simply divert the attention away from that ugly seam and onto the pretty graphics. And no I've never had a problem with the seam coming loose.

That's all there is to it.
