ISSUE. Turns out the grey paint was not cured enough for the tape I put on for the 2 inch stripe. Even though the booth is heated I turn it off when I leave. We had some cold days and the temperature dropped in the booth so that the grey did not sufficiently cure over night.

I have tape tracks in the grey. I've waited a couple days to see if they would level out by themselves and they have a lot, but not good enough. So I re-taped and sanded the stripes and re-sprayed the grey on them.

Darn, just another learning. Gotta wait a bit before putting tape on fresh paint. And I am not going to use that house hold painting tape directly on the paint. The expensive 3M Thin line tape I'm using, at $25/roll doesn't make tracks. So I'll use just it and paper in the future.

Oh, also I had some overspray leak around the paper. Not sure how. But have to do better taping and papering in the future. I polished it off, fine though.
