Removed the tape covering the binding today after the 3rd coat of colour had dried. No dramas, which is always nice, tape came away cleanly and there is very little scraping to be done on the edges. Started scraping the front portion of the binding but it was getting dark so gave up pretty quickly. There was one section I put the tape too far over the wood so had to re-tape a small section and re-spray. No big deal though.
