Have you tried the 3M green automotive masking tape? I hate "painter's tapes" because they're usually designed with latex paint in mind and tend to gooify easily. Went through several nightmares with that until I started working at a body shop and I was like "Ah haa..."

Here's a link to the exact one:

It could very well be called different things in different countries, so that's only what I know it as in the U.S.
The nicest thing about it is that if your forget about it for awhile it still peels up cleanly, unlike the blue stuff that just immediately is a disaster if you leave it more than a few days.

Hey there , looking great so far. Are you planning on using a clear coat? If you are I recommend spraymax 2k its in a can and its really goos stuff, nice high gloss finish that protects well
Hey bud,
On the painter's tape, you may not be experiencing tape residue! A lot of paints have solvent in the adhesive, which is fine for latex and urethane paint, but not for lacquer or enamel! Tamiya makes tape with no solvents that is low tack, its also crazy expensive...but it does work well!
I just sprayed it over a test piece of the red metalcast and the clear completely melted the colour away, even though the red had cured for over 24 hours.
