3M™ Automotive Performance Masking Tape features a distinctive green paper backing specifically designed for performance in auto body paint repair and maintenance jobs. This automotive 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.
