I know my model experience is lacking but from a purely paint point of view I think you'd have been better removing the liquid mask much earlier.
Id suggest as soon as the paint feels touch dry. That way the acrylics haven't started to cross-link / polymerise or whatever you want to call it, and the masking is much more likely to leave a clean edge. Once it's started to cure the acrylic becomes a homogeneous layer that doesn't want to separate from itself.
At work I do it almost immediately, while the paint is still quite wet, but that's a bit risky on a 3d shape and a wrongly placed finger could spell disaster.
