Chris,

It is hard to paint with rattle cans. I only use them for the base coat.

I will use the cheapest rattle can for the base coat. 1-2 light coats. Waiting 6 hours seems crazy to me. Most paints flash within 10-15 minutes. I have a Reznor heater in my shop that I use to force dry in the winter. lol Yes, you can tape that soon. (Watch heating Korber stuff. It moves around quite a bit)

Some tips on taping:

Stick the tape on your shirt before applying to the model. This will get rid of some of the tackiness.
Don't press the tape on with a great amount of force.
Spray another coat of base over the tape edge. If there is bleed through, it will be the same color. This will also seal the edge.

Spraying the second color:

Do not spray into the edge of the tape.
Use light coats.

USE AN AIRBRUSH IF YOU CAN. You cannot control the flow or the amount of product with a can.

Remove the tape IMMEDIATELY!
