Default Preparing solartex for spraying

Hi Guys I started to tape my model using Tamiya 3mm masking tape to do tight curves, I have since learned 3m 1/8" would be far better so I will be trying this instead. However my problem lie's with the newly covered Solartex covering I have done on my Tomboy 36, i'm finding once it has been applied it looks fine in a tight curve but give it a couple of hours and it starts to lift?? I am just worried I will spend all that time masking off to find once I apply the paint via Airbrush it will start lifting and ruin my work before it has chance to dry or apply a second coat ?
Should I be cleaning with the thinners I will be using with the paint first prior to masking/Spraying?? I would be most grateful for you help, Many Thanks Simon.

The Picture is what I am trying to achieve.
