preperation is the key mate mask it off spend most of the time doing this as any overspray is a bastard to get off, sand the strips down prime them sand again prime sand again till your happy prime it paint it about 3 - 4 layers and a good 3 - 4 coats of laquer, and take your time dont rush it
id say 15 mins between coats or primer then about an hour between layers of paint leave a day or two before laquering, before laquer use som wet and dry finest grade you can get and flatten the paint use plenty of water, use a spray bottle
then laquer leave about 4 - 5 days and polish it up to get a nice shine
