Our Thinnest Tape for Crisp, Sharp Lines
Our 3M Precision Masking Tape is the thinnest tape we offer for automotive aftermarket applications. This makes it perfect for applications where sharp, low-profile paint edges are critical, including two-tone paint jobs, bumper blackout areas and painting around details such as nameplates and door handles. The tape is great for solvent and waterborne paint systems, producing crisp, sharp paint lines without seepage or edge bleed. Its ultra thin construction makes it semitransparent, so auto body professionals can place the tape accurately over and around crucial details for the closest precision paint jobs.Goes On Smooth, Comes Off Clean
The backing of this high performance masking tape also unwinds smooth and is easily torn by hand, yet is strong enough to pull through multiple layers of clear coat and base. It is coated with an acrylic adhesive that adheres to metal, glass and painted surfaces. It also provides excellent UV resistance for outdoor applications, and won’t transfer adhesive to the surface upon removal even after continued exposure to the elements. The combination of smooth, thin backing and even adhesion allows taping over freshly painted surfaces sooner with less chance of imprint damage.Better Masking Tape from 3M
Masking tape was developed specifically to help protect surrounding surfaces from overspray, provide clean paint lines, and remove easily and cleanly when finished. 3M continuously improves its foundational products by applying science to make auto body paint jobs. Masking tapes from 3M adhere well, resist solvents or water from the paint, and are strong enough to block seepage, yet remove cleanly without leaving residue or damaging the subsurface. These products hand tear for tool-free application. The classic crepe paper masking tape is a light tan color, but 3M Precision Masking Tape is light green and semitransparent so painters can better place it where precision edges are most required. It should be noted that some paper-backed masking tapes perform best for indoor purposes and may be difficult to remove after exposure to sunlight; look for UV resistance if you use masking tape outdoors or if you use UV cured paint systems.3M Precision Masking Tape
The 3M Precision Masking tape, model 06525, is designed for sharp and clean paint lines. This tape is perfect for automotive applications where precision is key, ensuring professional results every time.
Its acrylic adhesive offers excellent UV resistance, making it suitable for outdoor use. The tape’s quality and reliability make it a trusted choice for auto body painters and professionals alike.
Ultra Thin Tape Benefits
This 3M tape measures 1/4" wide and 60 yards long, offering a thin profile that prevents high paint edges. Its ultra-thin paper backing helps create crisp, low-profile paint lines, ideal for detailed automotive work.
Because it’s the thinnest tape 3M offers for automotive use, it’s especially useful for two-tone paint jobs and areas requiring precise separation, such as bumpers and door handles.
Even Adhesion Performance
The tape’s acrylic adhesive provides even adhesion, allowing it to stick smoothly without damaging fresh paint. This means you can tape over freshly painted surfaces sooner with less risk of imprinting.
Its strong yet easy-to-tear backing ensures it pulls through multiple layers of clear coat and base paint without leaving residue or causing damage.
Semitransparent Visibility Advantage
Thanks to its semitransparent light green color, this tape offers better visibility during application. This helps painters place the tape accurately around fine details for the closest precision paint jobs.
The semitransparency also aids in preventing seepage and edge bleed when using waterborne and solvent paints, ensuring clean, sharp paint lines every time.
