This seems reasonable to me.

I would suggest they painted the black first, then masked the black (using a reusable mylar or aluminum shield) to paint body color over the top.

We did some vehicle two tones that way, where the center (inset) secondary color was painted first, taped over, and then the primary body color painted.
