3M Precision Masking Tape

3M Precision Masking Tape is an automotive paint masking tape (also called precision automotive masking tape or fine line masking tape). It gives auto body painters sharp, crisp paint lines with both solvent-based and waterborne paint systems.

Key Features:

• Ultra-thin paper backing leaves very low paint edges. It is still strong enough to pull through layers of color and clear coat.
• It is 3M's thinnest tape for automotive aftermarket use, so it suits jobs where a low-profile edge matters.
• The adhesive resists lifting, curling and bleed-through. This helps prevent seepage and keeps paint edges sharp.
• Acrylic adhesive bonds to metal, glass and painted surfaces. It has excellent UV resistance.
• The semi-transparent light green tape lets you see the surface underneath. This makes accurate placement easier.
• The backing unwinds smoothly and tears by hand, so you don't need a cutting tool.
• It removes cleanly without tearing or leaving adhesive residue.
• Even adhesion lets you tape over freshly painted surfaces sooner, with less risk of imprinting.

Typical Applications: two-tone paint separation, bumper blackout areas, back masking, and painting around details such as nameplates and door handles.

3M Precision Masking Tape suits professional refinishing work where clean, precise paint lines are required.
