You might try overcoating the previous paint with a clear overcoat before masking...

If the paint is dry, you should be able to tape over what you have.  Next trick is to mask with silly putty.  Yep.  The Kid's stuff.  Roll it out thin and apply.  Trim with your hobby knife.

I would use silly putty as well.
