Tru Colors paints???? - twilight - 08-16-2014

I'm still converting over to another paint from my old reliable Polly Scale. So I picked up a few basic colors of Tru Colors at one of my LHS'. I used the black(basic) to paint an old Varney tender(tender was previously primed with Tru Colors paint) I have for a 4-6-2 project I'm working on. When the tender was painted and dried I used blue masking tape for a straight edge for some dry transfer letters. When the lettering was complete, I went to remove the tape and found the masking pulling the paint off. Curse Curse Curse Has this happened to any one else with Tru Colors paint? Any input is appreciated.

I read about this issue on another forum.....obviously it is a common problem.

" I read about this issue on another forum.....obviously it is a common problem. "

Interesting. Was there any response from the manufacturer ?
Or, maybe, from another modeler who "questioned" the situation, and got a response from the manufacturer about a "work around" for the problem ?
