Default Help needed-lmf too thin, no what?

Painting my first body.....did 4 thin coats of bob divley, and just started painting. I cut out my entire design, but when I painted the front and went to move on to the next section, my pinstripe is extremely difficult to remove since I sprayed over it with the front color. I'm trying everything to take my time, but I'm afraid to screw up the edges. Any advice at this point??? Should I try and cut over my lines again?

Any help is greatly appreciated

Recut might be the only option.
That is why I peel and paint the pins first.

I also try to do pins first as much as possible. Dont be afraid to lay on the LM a little thicker on your next body. A little on the thick side you can still work with but when its too thin forget about it. Nobody gets it perfect the first time out of the gate. It does get easier with practice.
