Does this happen to everyone?

I masked off the cockpit with 3M blue painters tape before I sprayed the Hellcat with Tamiya rattle can sea blue. I am going to be holding my breath when the moment comes to remove that tape. I'm hoping my masking is effective and that the cockpit, which I have to say, came out really nicely IMHO, isn't ruined with bleed through. The tape looks okay, but until I see for sure....fingers crossed

 

One way to prevent bleed under on taped edges on canopies is to spray it with a clear glosscoat before color paint.  That way any leakage under tape edges onto clear panels will be a clear leakage.
