3M Auto Care Performance Masking Tape has a green backing that is highly conformable, provides one of the best adhesive transfer resistance, hugs curves and contours and provides outstanding paint lines. Its release coating affords straight, clean unwinding. The adhesive sticks at a touch, stays put and removes cleanly, and leaves almost no sticky residue behind. Help Ensure Sharp Paint Lines - Auto body professionals will recognize the familiar green color of 3M Auto Care Performance Masking Tape: the distinctive green paper backing signifies that the tape has been designed specifically for performance in auto body paint repair and maintenance jobs. It helps improve visibility for more accurate edges and is highly conformable - it resists breaking even as you apply it around contours of your vehicle. This makes it faster to apply and helps decrease the amount of tape you need to use. 3M Auto Care Performance Masking Tape features a specially formulated adhesive that bonds instantly to a variety of surfaces. Ideal for use with water or solvent based automotive paint, the adhesive resists water and chemicals as well as bleed-through, edge curl or lifting. A primer layer anchors the adhesive to the backing, helping you remove the tape cleanly without slivering - virtually eliminating scraping or scrubbing adhesive residue after use. All of this is built into a very low-profile tape which won’t leave high paint edges that require extra buffing. Special Release Coating Makes Masking More Effective - A release coating has been added to the backing of 3M Auto Care Performance Masking Tape that helps it unwind straight and clean. This added control means that the tape is much less likely to wrinkle or pull away from the masking paper for a much more accurate mask and sharper results in auto painting.
