Cleaning up tape edges?

I recently painted my logo on a door and had a few spots where paint got under the taped edge. I though I had pressed it down enough, but I guess not!

Does anyone have advice on how to clean up the edges? Before or after curing? Q-tip, toothpick, dip in reducer...?
 
I airbrush and deal with this alot I reverse tape and use a q-tip with thinner, but this is base over sanded clear
 
Mine is base over sanded clear as well. I did the q-tip with thinner and it worked pretty well, not as good as if the low tack vinyl hadn't wrinkled, but good enough for what I'm doing.

What is reverse taping?
 
Mask the negative of how you did the first time, so you have the crisp edge
 
One really light bleed through areas I've reverse taped and used my finger tip with a rag with some buffing compound, then unmask and clean with mineral spirits
