Yes, your primary problem was in the choice of using blue painters masking tape. not only is it not "fine" enough for model painting, it comes in many different brands, and some are next to worthless. I do prefer to use automotive masking tape, although it is becoming more difficult to find (at least here in N. Califunny). And then, there is your choice of color--Red is notorious for bleeding through, over and under--and I would imagine a rattle can will be difficult to control for a light, fine spray. Don't get me wrong, I use rattle cans for a lot of applications (typically when painting an AF boiler shell), but when it comes to fine detail work (and I would consider what you were doing as "detail work") it is hard to beat an airbrush.
