Masking Lugs?

Okay, so how in the heck am I supposed to mask around a lug? I painted the head tube and now need to mask it. I want the mask line to be on the head tube itself so the full lug will be the contrasting color. I tried and failed at blue painters tape, cutting around the edge of lug with an Xacto, and using electrical tape cut into 1/4" strips so it will curve more easily. Of the two method the electrical tape seems the most viable but it's hard to get that stuff into a tight radius. Open (desperate) for suggestions.
