Magnus,
I wouldn't suggest tape. I've tried that for a theatre prop project, and what happens is that the tape doesn't always follow the weave lines, and the paint tends to wick under, following the fibers. That wicking is reduced if you don't use tape. It's a difficult paint job, but in the end, it yields a much better product if you just follow the weave.
Tedious, like stacking marbles.
