3M's fine line tape for crisp paint lines: stripes, color separations and graphics. The stretchy vinyl backing conforms to curves and dips without lifting, and it comes off in one piece without ghosting, even after a 30-minute bake at 250°F.

Why it works
Sharp lines on real shapes
Stays stretched. 3M says it conforms to uneven surfaces without lifting, so paint doesn't bleed.
Clean after bake. No ghosting or residue after a 30-minute bake at up to 250°F.
One-piece removal. The strong vinyl backing pulls off without tearing.
See your line. A moderately translucent indigo backing.
Fine line first, then mask. Lay 471+ to define the paint edge, then bridge to paper or plastic with a wider masking tape like 388N. The vinyl gives the edge; the crepe tape holds the coverage.
How to use
Application
Clean the surface so it's free of wax, oil and dust.
Lay the tape along your line, stretching it gently around curves.
Mask the rest of the area to the tape with paper or plastic.
Spray, then bake at up to 250°F for 30 minutes if needed.
Pull the tape back over itself for a clean, one-piece removal.
