Dave,
Look at that area very carefully using a light held at an oblique angle.
The masking tape may be there, but completely covered with paint.
If it is not there, scrape with a knife and then sand a little. That
paint is tough and it will take a while to sand through it. Sanding is
OK, but scraping with the blade of a knife is much easier and faster.

I’m having *HUGE* fun building the KX3 which I received yesterday.
BUT… I’m now scratching my head on page 20 of the assembly manual.
This page shows various views of the bottom cover and the need to remove the
paint masks, as I’ve already done for the top cover. The small leftmost
illustration (immediately above “Figure 25” on the page) indicates that there
should be a small mask on the left end (as viewed in the illustration)
corresponding to a much larger mask on the right end.
On my bottom cover, this isn’t there. I’ve removed all the other masks -
inside and out - but there is no mask to remove in the indicated position. And
because there’s no mask, there’s paint where there should be bare metal.
