When you've got the coating you want and after it's dry; ((photos by xtremraptor of the XLFORUM https://www.xlforum.net/forum/sportster-motorcycle-forum/sportster-motorcycle-era-specific-and-model-specific/frame-mount-evo-sportster-talk-1986-2003-models/89734-time-too-stop-procastinating/page3#post1901368)) \\
Use an exacto or sharp knife to cut around the edges of the tape so the rubber doesn't rip when you remove it. \\
Then remove the tape and you're done. \\
