Haven't done one but Waterfowl and Bird Finishing says:
Move in close and spray a heavy coat of flesh on the center portion of the upper and lower mandible, including half of the nostril area and ommitting the tip of nail.
Move in close and spray all of the upper and lower mandible black except for the pink area painted before. Spray the nail up close.
Light wash over the bill with Mars Black and #4 sable brush.
