    should have tested in an incon****uios area before trying to lay tape, unless you are in a heated booth an hour isn`t long enough for any paint i ever seen....you`ll need a few hours.....

    You may have to use an inter coat clear to activate the base coat . Then tape and spray flames . Then a finish clear and sand and polish. Check with your paint supplier.

    Your paint may be dry but at only an hour it hasn't cured enough so it's to soft to work with.
