Window Mask -- Sticky goo left over
I just painted my Protoform Stratus 3.0 AP last night and let it dry overnight. When I pulled off the window masks, there was a lot of goo or sticky adhesive left over. It's kind of hard to explain.
Does anyone know how to get this stuff out without ruining the paint? Thanks

Might not work but try reapplying the mask several times, eventually it MIGHT take it all off.. thats from my experience anyway..
If you cant get it off like that, you could try carefully using some alcohol or aftershave or deodorant (not antipersperant) on a paper towel.

Thanks for the info, I'll try this later on.
This too is the first time after painting at least 10 Protoform bodies that I ran into this problem. Even HPI doesn't have this problem.

This is normal. All tapes/stickers leaves sticky adhesive behine if it is left for more than 1 or 2 days. I use tissue tape & this happens to me all the time. Just wipe it off with alcohol.

goo gone works perfect and wont bother the paint.
a high quality masking will not leave a residue..

I just got mine off with some rubbing alcohol and a little elbow grease. Next time I'll probably make my own window masks.
