Also, don't wait for it to completely dry before removing the tape. I think I waited about 30 minutes when I did my Skyline. I used Tamiya masking tape, very clean edges.

If you spray it just enough to get the color depth without going too thick, the tape comes off easier. Also, when I paint a stripe, after it dries, I very carefully pull the tape off at an angle, using an exacto knife to keep the stripe itself from peeling. Also light wetsanding and clearcoating really make a huge difference.
