Daniel,
No actually it was on the top of the radar section. I have since re-masked, wet sanded, and have just applied the first light coat of paint. My guess is that the elapsed time in the taping process may have discolored the paint. Or, I did use two different types of painters tape in the process. The first was from Harbor Freight (my bad!). The second was 3M painters tape. Time will tell. If it happens again it my be the first B9 with a gloss black radar section, LOL!

Hi Randy
Are you talking about the central band around the base of the radar section? I was going to attempt masking and painting but instead cut a strip of clear polypropylene (think that's what I used), painted one side gun-metal gray, and then wrapped it around that radar section with the non-painted, glossy side out. It fit perfectly and I used small strips of double-sided tape on the seam (which is in the back) to adhere it. The effect is pretty cool, glossier than the rest of the radar and doesn't require an overcoat.

Ok here is the deal. I decided to go with the two tone paint scheme on my radar. After primer I painted the whole radar section with Duplicolor Light Slate Metallic. It looked great! Then after several days drying time, I started the masking process. This took longer than I anticipated. In fact I worked on it over several nights. I then spayed the ribs and ring the Duplicolor Gunmetal Metallic. The next day I removed the tape (blue painters tape). Everything looked really good. A few more days of drying I wiped everything thing down, checked for problems then clear coated. Almost immediately, tape lines started appearing! Nothing was visible prior to the clear coat. These are not raised lines, almost like a faint negative image. I can't even get a good photo of it. As I rotate the radar under a light the lines appear and disappear. I feel a repaint is required but I don't want this to happen again. Any ideas?
Thanks,
