Thank you. It came out better the second time around after stripping the paint disaster earlier. Going to take advantage of the warm weather today to fix the paint mistakes / peeling from the maskings.

Took off the tape last night and what a disaster it turned out to be. :headbang: Tape peeled off more paint. Lesson learned that Frog green tape is far too tacky than their yellow counterpart. Frog green tape is less tacky than standard blue painter tape. Go figure.. :bored:

Anyway, I masked off the silver in spots where the pink peeled off and started again. Sprayed two light coats last night, let dry. Looks good enough for me. I’m going to let it dry til Monday so it can cure to a hard finish before gloss clear coat.

Sorry to hear this. I live in fear of this every time....You can place the tape on a clean cloth, like a T-shirt, then peel if off to make it less tacky. I do like the yellow Frog tape better. Found some at Home Depot recently. . . the wide stuff.

Looking good. Wild color combo. I totally forgot about this GB - should have added my rail here.

If you think it's a wild combination, just you wait what I have in store for this. It'll all make sense once it's done. :lashed:
