Default So on the list of stupid mistakes is....

Spending about 1.5-2 hours taping a body up with the expensive tape, being sooo careful, ending up super satisfied that you'll have nice clean lines everywhere you want them



and then realizing you taped it backwards, taped the inverse color section off.


Doh!


At least I caught it before I sprayed...

You're in good company. I used to build and paint custom bike frames with some serious paint jobs. I can't tell you the hours spent trying to figure out the masking and how many "dough" moments I've had. Some good surprises too though.
