Nice job man! It's a must have look I reckon for 86s.

The method is you spray 3 to 4 heavy coats of dip with minimal drying time between coats and while its still wet you peel the masking tape, that way the dip hasn't had time to dry and bond with the tape yet and you get clean lines when you peel. I got this technique from dipyourcar.com, he's got a youtube channel under the same name, check him out.
