Zbrush: Color ID edges bleed when polygroups are baked to polypaint

MoostifurArt

I've baked the polypaint from polygroups before and not had this problem before.  Not sure why I'm getting it now.  The gradation only becomes more intense at lower sub-d levels.  I would have these at top sub-d levels to get the least amount of bleed but I want to combine about 6 subtools and after that the file size would be insane (not to mention take forever to combine subtools with 8 sub-d levels).

Anyone have a suggestion on how to bake the polypaint from the polygroups in a lower sub-d level without getting this bleed/ gradation?  Thanks!

as polypaint is actually vertex color, this is un avoidable. a workaround would be splitting the polygons as teriyaki suggested

Warning: destuctive method.  I would probably group split and recombine before doing the polygroup to polypaint op.  This way the verts are split in between the two polygroups and won't blend the polypaint on those verts.

Thanks for the feedback.  Splitting the polys worked!
