Wrong isn't word I'd choose, but...

Try using "Removable" or "Drafting" type tape to mask. Art stores also
sell
masking film, but IMO it's too expensive. These tapes have less
"sticky."

Remove the tape slowly and relatively soon after painting (while the
paint's still wet). This helps prevent soak through. Be carefull not to
let
the edge of the tape come in contact with the model as you remove it.

Let primer and undercoats dry for a good long time (I allow a day or so)
before adding masked areas. This lets the paint fully cure before you
start
tugging at it with tape.

Hope this helps,
Schoon
