The only possible idea I have would be to paint the prop yellow first and follow that by black which is easier to use. :idonno

Seems I have seen an article about dipping the tips but that does not seem like a good idea to me :S

That's how I do it. Paint the tips yellow, mask then spray the black, decal the blades, flat coat, then I mask the prop blades and paint the cap over the front of the hub, then mask and spray the hub. Takes me roughly a week to do, just cause I like to let the paint cure overnight before i mask it, but I am pretty happy with the results. Here is the prop from my corsair...

and from my Hellcat, which is a single color prop hub...

The key when masking the prop blades is to get the tape under the parts of the hub that stick out next to the blades.
