Group,
Today I took off my front headlamp bezels in hopes of touching up the flat black trim areas. I spent my time and smasked off the areas necessary. I then painted them with Dupli Colors flat black trim paint. So good so far....but then!!!! I removed the masking tape slow only to pull some of the new paint off with the tape! Dam**t!
Has anyone found a good way to repaint these areas? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

I did mine with no problems. I think the key is to use a light coat of paint.
I used Krylon semi flat on mine.
Wipe the part down with carb cleaner to remove any polish or oil.

Bob,
Thanks for the reply. I will give it another attempt today. I also thought maybe I had put one to many coats on. I did this intially due to the fact it did not seem to cover as well as I would have liked.
Thanks again and I like the Cyper Garage you have set up.
Thanks again

pull the tape when the paint is still wet.

I agree with Mickey. That should help.
I also lightly scuffed the area that I painted with steel wool.
