OH, that's too bad man, i'm feeling really sorry for you, i hope you'll be able to fix the paint.

You had the SAME problem that I did when I tried to two-tone my R34! I didn't lose ALL the gold, but all the top layers peeled off :\. I feel your pain man, hope you recover. Mine's still in the brake fluid.

looks good, thats unfortunate about the paint, did it peel off with the masking tape?

Feint Motion · 04-10-2005, 02:48 PM

Well, metallics especially tend to peel off primer or not when you mask over them. It's obviously an adhesion problem, and so far Floquil are the only paints I haven't had the problem with.

That's a great color. Too bad about the paint peeling. I haven't had a problem with my boyd's metallic paint peeling, so maybe the tape your using is too sticky. Try blue painters tape or some low adhesion masking tape.

Just a side note:

I also find it funny that you masked in all the exact same places I did. The rear diffuser, where you stopped on the trunk....

I was used Tamiya Mask Type, to mask the paint.

I was't use primer first.

First use tamiya color, and later duplicolor... put the mask, to paint in black.
When retire the mask, sorprise!, only the back parts are bad ¬¬

Thanks for the comments, i reestart tomorrow again

Later of despaint, this is the result:

Tomorrow, reestart the black zone

P.D.: No have a Wax... I apply this night.
