Hi Sterling did you undercoat it first?
Or just paint over the top of the old paint?
RE the paint not sticking
PJ

Primer can be useful to help paint fresh paint bond better, or there are also additives that can be added to help it 'stick'. What grade paper did you use to sand the existing, how much and what paints are you using, acrylics or enamels.

It also looks as though you are using normal 'white' masking tape??? Try some of the less harsh 'blue' or 'purple' tape that is designed for low tack masking. Make sure you get a decent brand.

Also how long did you leave between the black and doing the masking? Paint takes a while to 'harden' probably more than you would think, and fresh paint is more likely to peel.

Basically dont skimp on prep and esp in masking, it will catch you everytime..

Least you can fix it up and its always a great learnign curve painting your own car...

Mate, good job for doing it by yourself, youll get there eventually

unmasked it today, put the headlights back on grill bumpers etc looks soo good all the chrome with the black

ITS LIKE SEX

pics in a day or so! gotta touch up my stripes

heres the new pics... really like how this turned out, obviously ther are a few areas more sanding would have helped and a couple areas that still neet to be touched up ( where i masked the paint a bit and it still shows orange )

but overall, me likey... my brothers and sister couldnt regonize the car. until they were right up next 2 it.
