Rich...
I've used the?3M masking?tape (Micro Mark link) exclusively until now.? In my experience it will also pull?off TruColor paint from resin and plastic.? Overall it is still probably the best masking tape out there, in both my opinion and several of the professional painter guys.

Tru Color is most accessible for me since Scalecoat ended. I have figured it out and get good results. But it SUCKS if you have to mask it for another color. Pretty much any tape pulls paint off at least on brass that has been blasted. I have not tried masking and painting on plastic, urethane or 3D printing resin.
I had the same on plastic, Tamiya masking tape has the lowest tack I've seen and it still pulled the paint up.
I'm using Tamiya paints now for all plastic models. It does use alcohol, but that's a lot better than the acetone in TruColor. Never had Tamiya lift off with the masking.
