Yeah you need a quality low tac masking tape, or even the blue painters tape.

Sucks you paint job went south.

Well after trying to fix it up i jsut screwed it up even more. Now i have no clue what i am going to do with it... I was thinking of something like printing out on a piece of paper "Nuclear Fission Beware" just so no one can see my screw up...

you tried painting with duct tape :shock: [-X masking tape ONLY(unless you have some kind of proffessional stuff), and you should run your fingernail over the edges of the tape and where there are crevaces especially, because spray paint loves to seep through under the tape, but it cant if the tape is applied fully :drinkers:

When it comes to paint there is two options.

1. Cover it up with another graphic of some kind.

2. sand it all down, new primer base coat and do it over. If its metal you might get away with paint thiner.


Either way sucks. Cover up blows as its not what you want, and the sanding just sucks because there is nothing like doing it twice.
