I don’t use craft store acrylics but I do use fuller bodied acrylics when I touch up/airbrush. I heat set each color with a hair dryer before I use frisket over it. Does your paint need to be set?
It may help to only apply slight pressure on the edge of the mask you’re applying.

Ah, gotcha. It’s the old paint coming up. If the paint is that flakey I’ll clean the playfield as best i can, even if it means losing some of that flakey paint, then give it a coat of clear to lock in what remains. Then I do my airbrush and touch ups on the new clear.
Smooth brushing- I’d make sure you have good quality sable brushes and that the paint is nicely thinned. I keep a cup of water close by to keep the bristles moist to really smooth on the paint. Hard to explain but there may be a YouTube video out there showing acrylic painting techniques.
