Hey TD I think over-all it's good. Have you ever tried Silly Putty? I say this because since I had seen the acticle by Bob Downie I use it all the time. Once you "make" some tools or get them you can put the putty in small places and it won't stick to the paint most of the time. I use acrylic paint but Bob doesn't. You can use it over and over. Like that spot where you had the tape. Cheers, K.
PS. I can look up that article in Scale Auto if you want? I know you mil. stuff but you can use it for anything.
