Did you use an airbrush, paint brush or spray paint?
I noticed taping lines with a paintbrush doesn't work as well and allows bleed under where an airbrush, or even spray paint would give a crisp line as long as you keep the coats real light.
Thanks! This was just Tamiya rattle-can spray paint, and painters tape masking the front and rear white sections. I learned after I was already done that I could have dunked a q-tip in some isopropyl to clean up the bleed by the tape edges before moving to the second color, which is absolutely something I will do next time around if I use the same overall process.
