Everybody has their own technique but I like to pull the paper and masking tape off the design ASAP. If you pull it off right away (Being careful to NOT touch the painted surface) you should have a minimal tape edge. If you can't pull the tape off right away wait until it's dry so the ''paint flakes'' off the tape won't stick to the painted design. Then you can brush the flaky paint edge off with your hand. The dry method is safer, but leaves a higher tape edge.

If you pull the tape off after it has set for only a few minutes, you may pull the flashed paint up with the tape and the paint will stick to the surface of your fresh paint job. Kinda' like pickin' up a piece of "CHEEZE" pizza. That's a good thing with pizza, but NOT so good with paint......................

BTW:
I should add if you want to play it a little safer, ''tape and maskiing paper'' the design off just outside the design line, then "LAST" tape off the design with stripe tape. Then when your done spraying the design, pull just the final stripe tape off. Then pull the rest of the tape and paper off after the paint has dried.
