i work nights and will be painting my car during the day, therefore i may not have time to remove the tape right after painting, can i remove it a day later without an issue? or can i remove it directly after painting without an issue either? last time i painted it i let the paint set for about 1 or 2 hours before removing. i dont want to mess it up lol
