if you didn't already..you should have painted the top first. that way you only have to tape it off once

yea, see now you are going to have to tape off all the green to paint the top.

Remember in the future to paint the lighter colors first...you can just paint the top white(don't have to tape anything), and any white that gets on the body will be covered by the green.
