TK bucket help

Post by troopdrum1 »

Hello everyone! I recently finished painting my frown and when I pulled the painters tape away to keep a good edge I noticed that the paint pulled away with the tape thus leaving some edges that aren't so sharp. Is this because I didn't let the paint dry completely? If anyone knows anything about this please let me know. I'm terrified of having to sand it down and start over. It might not be to bad but if it keeps me from getting accepted I'm gonna freak? Also please leave some feedback on how the bucket looks. I would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks so much. :metal:

If you are very careful you can scrape away the excess paint with an exacto knife.

Another way is to take a Q-tip dipped in mineral spirits and gently swab at the paint until it melts, get a new q-tip often so you don't smear the gray onto the surrounding area by accident.
