Default Hard Tape lines

I recently had a project painted and I had to use a hard tape line at the end of the clear. Now it is on the underside but I am worried on how to protect that hard tape line for either peeling or getting damaged so that it does not start to peel or flake off.

What options do I have?

If it was sanded/scuffed well and cleaned well you dont have to worry. It's not house paint. Auto paint and clear only flakes when the prep was done poorly.

^^ Like they said. It's too late now but a neat trick to minimize the edge is when finished painting pull the tape as soon as possible before the paint dries. Then the edge will not be as "hard"
