What tape are you using for masking? I suspect you’re using regular masking tape not Tamiya or Frog painter tape. I don’t know.Tamiya masking tape or Frog painter tape really doesn’t leave any glue residue when pulling off gently.Then again, if paint is laid down thick, paint can seep under the tape. That’s why it’s better to spray in several light coats. Let the paint build up.Masking after a few hours of drying is your first mistake. It should have been left alone to dry and cure for 24 hours. I don’t think you have a bad batch of Mission Model paint is the issue. More like user error. I’ve never had issues with Mission Model paints reacting with other paint brands. I do not like Vallejo paints at all. They seem to leave a waxy look in my opinion. They’re fine for handbrushing but airbrushing? Forget it. I’ve been heard far too many horror stories of them gunking up and ruining airbrushes. Yes, I am well aware there are Vallejo paints made specifically for airbrushing. Vallejo is a whole different beast chemically.</blockquote>
