Switched my trustworthy Gunze for MRP lacquers to paint my dual 109 G build and in both models the paint peeled off seriously when using masking tape (Tamiya). Never had such problem with enamels or acrylics, with the exception of AK, and even so in in minor extension...nothing compares to the onslaught I had in both kits.

So I am wondering is anyone out there with experience using MRP paint has ever had such problem before?

In one of the kits the peeling areas are such that am considering stripping the paint entirely and re-paint with Gunze. Thanks!

I am using MRP paints for over 2 years now and I had never ever had a case of paint peeling off when unmasking. Have you cleaned your model properly before painting? Did you use any primer and if yes, did only the paint lift off, or primer as well?

Hi Louis!

Like you, and as I also mentioned, I never had any paint being removed by tape masks before, well at least at such extent.
I use Tamiya tape, or a similar generic type available at my LHS, and even using it without a “cold application” to remove a bit more of the tape’s glue, never did it removed any paint.

The worst now is that a retouch with the paint is not at all satisfactory, as you can see in the picture.
The most affect kit was Zvezda 109. Almost entire areas of rlm 75 got peeled off. In fact I removed remaining paint of those areas all together and sprayed again, but in the end a complete removal of paint at upper wing camouflage will be the best remedy. Not sure about the Eduard kit though (photos are from this kit)

Hi Bogdan, thanks for the answer, like I said to above, no primer and no cleaning of the plastic. I did use 2 layers of gloss varnish when the first paint layer was applied, before masking it that is.
How many hours do you guys give this paint to fully dry? More than the usual 8 hours?

I guess in all future projects where MRP brand will be in use I’ll do as you do Sebastijan, primer first. I saw that you use an AK primer, does it spray well (no too thick I mean)?
