Masking tape isn’t supposed to do that right?

[Milo]

the undercoat is chrome, seems that my paint over it didn’t want to stay

[slusher]

Might need to strip the chrome so the paint will stick"..

I can’t see the picture, but tape will stick to paint better than paint will stick to kit chrome. Either scuff the chrome with fine sanding pads or strip it entirely.?‍♂️

What "chrome" exactly?

I see that's a hood from an AMT '63 Vette, I know those hoods didn't come chrome plated in the box.

It looks like this is the wrong type of masking tape. You need to use hobby tape specifically made for painting. Even though you may not like the look. Clearcoat will help to protect the chrome paint. Go down the list there is a "the best masking tape thread" some good info.
