I have tried immediately after spraying and approximately 30 minutes after spraying. Best results is about 30 minutes later. Just be extremely careful when you pull the tape. It can, and most likely will, lift some paint around the edges.

Also, make sure you paint around you tape lines with the color surrounding the "To be painted area". The Nelson paint, as would any paint, will bleed under the tape due to the weave of the fabric. I paint the tape down to seal it, wait about 10 minutes, then paint the new color.

Additionally, I have tried brushing the paint on, spraying with my touchup gun (Sata MiniJey IV 1.2 SA Tip), and spraying with my Iwata Kustom CS Airbrush (0.5 Tip) and received by far the best results with the touchup gun. The paint likes to be put on in a light coat to start then a wet, but not too wet, second, third, fourth........ coat. The airbrush puts out too little paint and too much air resulting in a sandpaper like finish. The touchup gun makes for an extremely smooth finish.

I thinned the paint for the touchup gun about 4 parts paint to 1 part water. I also used the crosslinker as per instructions, 8 drops per oz I think.
