Helmet Helmet Painting Problems.

Hello all, I am currently working on painting a Jango Fett bucket and I am having some issues with the paint peeling off. I am spraying Krylon Ocean Blue spray paint over silver Rub N Buff and it just peels right off with the tape when I go to mask off for the next color. I was curious if i am missing a step for prepping the Rub N Buff for paint, or if this is a common problem and I should be painting the darker blue first. I am using 3m blue painters tape to mask with.

Thanks,
Joey
 
rub n buff is a wax & that is where your problems start. I spray the lighter blue first, mask, then the darker blue. Let is cure for a couple of days then mask & hit with the rub n buff. If you get some of the rub n buff on your paint, mineral spirits will take it off with out harming the paint, as long as you have let the paint cure.
