I am painting my basement and I decided to use more than one color , so I used blue tape on the corners that separate walls of different colors, now when I pull the tape, it peels off the paint or the primer. I have been using a product called Valspar from Lowes, and the paint had enough time to dry. The way I was applying the tape is pressing it firmly against the wall with a spatula. Any suggestions why this frustrating thing happened.

I have an ancient clawfoot tub that I'm ONLY going to be using outside as an herb garden, so I don't need a pro-refinish. My problem is about 20 yrs ago the friend that gave it to me had painted it w/PINK housepaint - including the feet. I've been toting around this pink monstrosity for over a decade and now that I own a home, I want to get rid of the pink paint. It has been an OUTSIDE tub since I've known it, so it has some rust some spots, particularly under bubbling paint at the bottom and LOTS of rust on the feet and screws. How do I: 1. Strip the paint? I'd rather not use a chemical, but I've been sanding and it's taking FOREVER as some of the nasty paint is stubborn. 2. How can I get said paint off the INTERIOR porcelain part? Remember, I don't need to salvage this part, but I don't want it to be pink either. 3. Get rid of the rust, or stop the rust? Coke? Does the rust need to be "treated" before I repaint? 4. What kind of paint should I paint it so it will not continue to rust outside? Rustoleum? Should I use a sealant after I'm done painting it? Thanks in advance all!!!
