Priming the tape helps seal the tape from absorbing the gloss black you put on. But since you are stuck now. You might have to wait til the paint drys alittle longer. You can always lightly run an Xacto knife on either side of the tape to start the pull an then pull the tape back on itself. Not to one side or the other. I've done this before. You kind a have to wait for the gloss black to adhere to the plug a little longer.

I was worried that the tape would not come off if the paint was totally hardened, since it has to break the paint that is enveloping it. Live and learn!
Black is damned hard to paint I have found. You would think it would cover the best but not so. It took 4 coats to get it that black, and with a flash it is not really all that black surprisingly enough.
I think I will have a bunch of touchup to do on these panel lines. Oh well, what's another week?
