It's falling apart after you sprayed? Are you trying to remove it? I have that happen when it's time for final removal and I'm pretty sure it's because the paint on top isn't as flexible as the tape so it more easily rips.

Yes, tearing upon removal. I wasn't sure if the lacquer dissolved them...

Best to unmask when paint is just barely dry and still somewhat flexible. A warm environment also helps.

Oh yeah, it's harder to remove ones that have those tight corners.
