Concurrently with building the track I am trying to do a few cars
Painted up 2 x 1/24th Ferrari 275 P2 bodies. One is Atlas and one is a mint unused Tamiya car I bought recently.
Tamiya top Atlas bottom.
Primered with Acrylic primer and used same brand red. I decided to do the Blue/Red British entry for Le Mans and taped it up using Tamiya tape and normal white plastic tape.
As I have before with no issues.
This happened when removing the tape: All paint peeled back to body base.
I did this about 48 hours after red paint, and about 1 hour after blue paint - as I normally do. - This has never happened before.
I have now stripped it back, sanded body for grip and re primered. But I want same colour scheme but and scared to do same process again.
Should I change tape? Wait longer after red paint? It has been primers now for about a week.
