I got a paint/ drip catcher. The plastic type, after I painted the one side of the scope I let it dry and rolled it over and painted the other side. The paint that was on the plastic came off super easy and stuck to some of the paint on the scope in a few spots. So I fixed it by using something small to prop it up off the plastic to spray it. Also really rub the tape well. Some I had pressed down but not really hard all over. So they bled in under the tape a little bit.
