help!

i masked off the trim aon my hilux body and srayed it satin black. everything was fine and dandy until i took off the tape....
the F*&%ing stuff pulled the paint and primer off.:mad::mad:http://www.neprap.com/uploads/hilux1.JPG
the paint was tamiya italian red (4 coats) and primer 2 coats.
the tape i used was tamiya.
anyone know why the f*&% this happened?http://www.neprap.com/uploads/hilux2.JPG

Did you let the paint dry enough before masking? Two days to one week seems to be the time needed for the paint to dry completely... Has the body been washed before primed (better adherence)?
Well, that sucks... Just a little "castrol bath" and "do it again" paint... Sorry!

i did wash the body prior to priming....
the paint had dried for 2 weeks before i masked it.
i think somebody cursed this build cos ive had so many problems with it:rolleyes:
oh well into the castrol it goes and another R56.00 for another can of paint....:mad:

I tend to rough the body VERY slightly to give better adherence use 2000 grade wet and dry, it also makes sure all in release agent is off the body.

You got the point bro'. I'm using this method also. Got some striped paint by masking tape. If there will be a lot of masking I also use transparent primer.

I still can't get over the cost of Tamiya spray in South Africa now.....

yeah i know, its ridiculous isnt it?:screwy:
too many middlemen.......
oh well:rolleyes:

thanks for the help i.ll try the sanding trick
