Always tricky Karl. I'd start with painting the tip colour, mask that then do the middle colour, mask that, then do the colour at the back of the spinner. It's easier to mask a cone from front to back since going the other way results in a wrinkly mask. To mask, use a very narrow slice of tape to get the edge straight then bigger pieces to hide the rest.
 
Thanks Andy.

well OD is on pics when its dried a bit.
here's the progress so far, paint is still drying and a bit of tidying up is needed here and there
