Well with that patch fix...leaving that tape on there will bite into that uncured paint...You should pull it off as soon as you are done fixing or it will leave an adhesive wrinkle...Put it off wet...Nice job though, that is turning out nice😉 |

ok - I gave it a shot.. 97% good. There’s a little corner or two I may slice off when this is dry. But this is a super close up. Pulled the stencil after 1 hour.. The wife says it looks like decals.. She meant it as a compliment.. |

The paper and painters tape were below the actual stencil material.. I put it there just in case there was any paint drool - which there was. The stencil material was used on the entire perimeter of the yellow area under repair.. ;) |

I diddnt mean to get involved, just got a little excited, Painting is scary fun...All I was saying is 10 min after your last coat if you pull the tape the thinner in the paint makes the tape soft and it peels really easy, even after a hour it is set up and becomes more difficult to the point of potentially ripping the paint...But...Your use of thinners, and the paint gun should be noted, very well done and if I had to guess very minimal orange peel, and level paint surface flow, nice coverage, and from here the colors look right. |
