Use of multicolor photometry to remove planetary limb contamination from occultation light curves is demonstrated. This color restoration procedure is shown to be more advantageous than limb scanning techniques since it allows continuous observation of the occultation. Sharp spikes appearing in the light curve of beta Sco C are compared with those observed during the occultation of beta Sco AB, and a model is developed for estimating the effects of all factors affecting the observed shape of a spike. The widths of the narrowest spikes are shown to correspond closely to the angular diameters of the occulted stars, suggesting that occultation spikes can be used to determine stellar diameters.
