Remove the tape while the paint is still slightly tacky or ensure the vehicle surface was not too hot during application.
To achieve the best results, ensure the vehicle surface is clean, dry, and free of wax or silicones before application. Apply the tape firmly along the blend zone, smoothing the edge to ensure full contact with the substrate. After the painting process is complete and the paint has achieved its initial set, remove the tape at a 45-degree angle to maintain the softened edge.
