Re: My Favorite Masking Tapes ...
I've seen your video about masking tape, and I'd like to ask you for an explanation of what might be going on. I covered part of a piece with Tamiya tape to apply the second color and when I removed the tape the piece was all marked with what I think is the tape sticker. The first color was already applied a week ago and when I put the tape, I removed the tape the next day the second color painting. The first paint was Gunze's red gloss. Can not I mask gloss paint? I really do not know what might be happening. Could you explain me what happened? Attached I attached a photo of the problematic piece.
Re: My Favorite Masking Tapes ...
The paint wasn't completely dry. Apparently a thick layer was applied.

hi Andrey,
The paint was dry, in fact the piece was painted a week before I applied the masking tape. I've already noted that the problem don't occur when the paint is semi gloss ou matt.
Anyway, thank you for your reply.

On that piece above, it's quite possible that what you see is not adhesive from the tape, but rather small etching into the paint surface that was caused when the paint reacted with the adhesive, or pulled up slightly when tape removed.
To test this theory, I would recommend that you polish a small area with micro-mesh or Tamiya polishing compound, and you may find that the area smooths back to a gloss if this theory is correct. You'd basically be micro-sanding the area back to gloss and removing the surface imperfections. If the Gunze paint was an acrylic, I'd suspect this is the case.
Hope this helps,
AJ
