Masking tape isn’t supposed to do that right?

[Milo]

the undercoat is chrome, seems that my paint over it didn’t want to stay

[slusher]

Might need to strip the chrome so the paint will stick"..

I can’t see the picture, but tape will stick to paint better than paint will stick to kit chrome. Either scuff the chrome with fine sanding pads or strip it entirely.?‍♂️

What "chrome" exactly?

I see that's a hood from an AMT '63 Vette, I know those hoods didn't come chrome plated in the box.

It looks like this is the wrong type of masking tape. You need to use hobby tape specifically made for painting. Even though you may not like the look. Clearcoat will help to protect the chrome paint. Go down the list there is a "the best masking tape thread" some good info.

It was Tamiya masking tape

Looks as if the paint has no adhesion to the chrome underneath. Tamiya makes great products,  maybe there's an incompatibility between whatever chrome you used and the paint. What products did you use, might help others drum up an answer.

Loke others have mentioned, there is no "chrome: on the hood.  Looks like the Tamiya tape lifted some sort of metallic paint sprayed onto the hood.  It is pain adhesion problem. Could be several reasons for this.

1. Prep of the bare plastic part before painting.
2. If primer is used (I don't see it) the way the primer is applied (too dry) or the type of the primer used.
3. The way the paint is applied (too dry) or the type of paint used.
4. The paint was not fully dried/cured.

Those are few possibilities.

Why did you use chrome paint under the blue?

I have little doubt that that is your problem.

Prime with normal lacquer primer, and if you must, or desire a silver base under your color, use a normal silver paint, ultimately a silver lacquer such as Duplicolor.

Then, for the ultimate adhesion, use a color of the same type of paint, (lacquer) over the top.

I’ll never understand why people insist on mixing and matching all of these weird combinations of paint and then act surprised when it turns to feces.

It makes absolutely no sense to me.
