slusher Posted May 4, 2024 Share Posted May 4, 2024 Might need to strip the chrome so the paint will stick".. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOBLNG Posted May 4, 2024 Share Posted May 4, 2024 (edited) 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.?♂️ Edited May 4, 2024 by NOBLNG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Can-Con Posted May 4, 2024 Share Posted May 4, 2024 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike 1017 Posted May 5, 2024 Share Posted May 5, 2024 (edited) 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.
