Faskolor peeling off

[Body Paint]

I'm having trouble with Faskolor paint.

I'm finding that when I peel the masking tape off the paint tends to peel off aswell. Does anyone else have this problem?

Better still has anyone found a way of stopping it happening.

Ihad that problem on my two shells as well, thought it was me rushing

Craig, you got to either pull the tape off whilst the paint is still fresh or wait till it is very dry, anywhere inbetween and the paint sticks to each other more than it does the shell.

Does it actually ever stick to the shell? I don't really see how it works with it being water based.

The water is only the carrier and evaporates away. Only trouble I have with Faskolor, is people need to leave it cure a few days, then it sticks like shit to a blanket.

I've found peeling when soft the only way, but that leaves a slightly rough line. I've left shells weeks to dry over a radiator and it still peeled.

I have tried backing the paint with solvent or acrylic paint and it seems to soak into the faskolor and make it stick properly, but it kind of defeats the object of faskolor

?

I always thought that faskolor was acrylic?!?

Anyway. The only problem I've had with faskolor is it actually wshing off when it gets wet. So I try to back it all with pactra white flo' cover coat now to seal it.

Sometimes it does peel off when it is put on top of another paint. but I've never had a problem with it actually peeling directly off the polycarb'...except in major impacts, as it isn't as flexible as the solvents.a
It does sometimes get a bit 'rubbery' when its at a certain dryness (if that makes sense), and its at this point when it tends to peel off from the lower paint layer. I always 'force' dry mine and don't unmask until it is properly dry.

It doesnt like to go ontop of chrome sometimes either. If the chrome is put down first for pinstriping you can quite easliy peel the chrome off when unmasking the other sections. which is a real bugger. so sometime when this starts to happen I end up having to re-cut all the lines again.

I still find solvent better, but the faskolor is better for my health so I put up with it.
