Super work mate, perhaps the masking is lifting due to oil residue on the glazing? maybe a wipe over with a cotton bud and some soapy water may solve it.

I thought the same thing, Pete. Soap and water, iso alcohol, Windex. No joy.

Well, I think I've got the windows squared away. The tape has been removed.
I went back to the liquid Micro Mask but changed my technique a little. The first time I applied it I went heavy around the edge of the windows with just a light coating to fill in the rest of the area. This time I basically filled the the window recesses.
They look pretty good. Been over 4 hours since I've done them and no sign of lifting. If they look good in the morning I'll be spraying some paint.
Fingers crossed.

Thanks, Boys.
Checked the glass first thing this morning and things still looked good, so it was off to the basement to fling some color. I was pretty nervous through the whole process. I let the cab sit for about an hour and started peeling.I had some doubts at the start as the masking did not seem to want to release.
After 15-20 minutes, I had this.
That left me with this.
There were a couple of places that needed touching up and I had to put some future on a few where I scratched the glass but all in all a lot better than the tape.
I would call this a qualified success.
