Well, I masked off a windshield for a car I'm building, sprayed the trim, and let dry. Scored the tape, pulled it off, and yikes! Belled through all around the windshield, ruining what I thought would be a nice sharp line!
Would it be possible to "reverse-mask" the trim, and go over the offending paint with a q-tip soaked in Windex (using Tamiya acrylics, BTW)? Or should I just suck it up and strip the whole thing?
TIA

I'd go the windex route 1st.
If the paint hasn't been on to long it should remove most of it.
It'll also remove future if you've dipped the glass already, so you may need to reapply that.
The Windex won't really remove the paint without some gentle rubbing, but I'd mask just to be safe.
You could also try polishing off the paint with toothpaste.
I'd try both of these before stripping.
