White out!; making decals even

Chaps,

I saw online someone who has built the Airfix Seahawk, which has decals that run over the DSG/white demaraction line, but, being translucent, allow the line to be seen. As such, I've decided to single colour the area (white) under the decals, but... What's the best way to mark out the area? I can think of two options:

1. Decal it now, where it's all white, then, mask the decal, and spray the DSG
2. Mask out the decal area, spray, then decal into the masked area?

Thanks guys!

I'd favour your second option. Or do a scheme that doesn't require to decal over the demarcation...

I bottled it, and just had a slight colour change on the Seahawk!
