I did the rear valance thing today and while removing masking the dip came right off with the masking. Ending up taking it all off, it was a complete waste of time
Same thing happened to me the first time... You need to do 3-4 coats quickly. With 1-2 minutes between coats, On the last coat, get it as wet as you can without it running. Then pull the tape off right away. My 2nd attempt turned out perfect, smooth finish that looked like satin paint. In my profile there's a pic of my fangs...
Doing door handles & emblems are much easier. You mask off a bigger area than what you're spraying. And just peel it off the paint. Then it tears or breaks at the gaps or seams around whatever you've sprayed.
