Basically it was a royal pain, but used painters tape to mark off and tape over the non-spider portion. Tedious work. Then just spray painted the exposed part green. There was a little bit of bleed through on the painters tape, so you have to make sure it's securely pressed down. But also, since it is generally seen from far away, it's not a huge deal if the paint lines aren't absolutely perfect. After it was installed, went back with the touch up paint to fix anything.
Conversely you could do it all with the touch up paint and a steady hand if you didn't want to bother with all the painters tape.
