Guest Gramps-xrds Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 It depends on what type of paint you used to start with. If it's lacq based and the bottom coat has been on for a good while, you can try some mineral spirits and rub along the edge of the new paint. sometimes it will remove new lacq. It's worked for me a time or two. If it's enamel base, about the only thing I can suggest is let it cure for a few weeks and try a more aggressive rubbing compound. Or you could try it now. Some of the compounds have a solvent in them and it may remove the new paint. You'd need to test it on the paint someplace that won't show. If it's model paint I don't know what to tell you, most of the ones I used to use were enamel, but now I can't say. Good luck. Maybe someone has a better suggestion.

Guest Gramps-xrds Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 its krylon paint I'm not sure but I think Krylon might be a synthetic enamel. I've never used it that I know of. I know I haven't used on models. The rubbing compound still might work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jantrix Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 In the future you can prevent the bleed under by burnishing the tape down well, and then spraying a coat of clear before you spray your color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billd64 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Masking.... I used to use bare metal foil to mask, two / tone paint, burnished it, and then attached masking tape to the bare metal area, it hasnt failed me yet. recently i was told tamiya paint is good for masking, havent tried it yet, will be soon though as a roll of that is equal to baremetal foil, but bmf is expensive to mask with billd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR BIGGS Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 I do the same thing jantrix does. What I use is HOK INTERCOAT CLEAR SG-100 after each paint layer is applied, pattern and even befor murals are added. This way it give's me a smooth surface for the tape to stick. No matter what you do when you have raw paint the tape never seem's to stick no matter how hard you try. This way if you mess up you can at least sand your mistake without getting into the main paint job. I Never had a paint problem since.
