The 3M green tape on the binding was good, but not perfect. Or maybe the tape was perfect but I did not mask well. In either case there was paint bleeding in some areas. Cleanup was easy. It might have been the first task in the project that had gone as planned.
I folded a piece of cardboard around a razor blade so the blade stuck out to the width of the binding. I then taped the blade in place. Using the cardboard as a guide, I scraped the blade along the binding. This worked perfectly. I moved the blade around the guitar until all the errant paint was removed.

The 3M tape did its job but it did leave some residue. I used denatured alcohol and quite a bit of elbow grease to remove it.

Lastly, some of the debris in the paint was not removed with the sandpaper I used previously. I used an X-acto blade to scrape these off.
