How to Best Restore a Grille for 69 Dart

The Diamond Clear from Eastwood is more of a coating than a paint. It will peel off randomly if you don't remove the masking tape from the surrounding areas at the right time.

So based on your comment here, when is the right time to remove the masking tape after I have sprayed the clear over the polished metal? And does it matter if the clear is sprayed over the painted parts of the grille?
