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.
Has this happened to any one else with Tru Colors paint? Any input is appreciated.

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 ?
We always learn far more from our own mistakes, than we will ever learn from another's advice.
The greatest place to live life, is on the sharp leading edge of a learning curve.
Lead me not into temptation.....I can find it myself!
