I'm gonna need to do some masking with my first vehicle soon, and have heard a few people mention horror stories of paint coming off...

What were they doing wrong? What should i be doing to avoid that?

Thanks for all the tips guys.

I already use Vallejo grey primer, and usually apply through an airbrush for good coverage. So i assume my priming is up to code.

I do in fact use cling wrap, as one person suggested, and it works great. But that's more for protruding areas of a miniature - the subject of this project is a rhino, so i'll be looking to block off flat panels on the chassis with clean edges.

De-tacking sounds like a good suggestion too!
