I did the center swell on the hood of my f-150. Heres how you get around the peeling edges. Mask the area off like usual. Then paint the entire middle section 4-5 coats until covered. Leave about a 2″ area inside the tape unpainted. After the bulk of the area is painted and dried, do the remaining bit around the masking in 1-2 heavy coats and quickly remove the tape (within 2 minutes). It will peel off cleanly if it is still wet. Only downside is its hard to get an even coat that is not streaky. But the good news is you can go over it as many times as needed. I would avoid spraying it on a hot or cold day.

@ultimatesurvival This sucks. Sorry about your pain. After trying many techniques and going through the same thing, I know how you feel. I think whatever coating you use will need great care when removing the masking. The surface itself looked good right? This may be to little too late, but I recall helping the mask in some occasions with a blade, and pulling the mask before full cure. The end results have lasted quite a long time. Perhaps we can get specific techniques answeered in our forums. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Awesome @shane_oneil ! Glad is was useful!
