Hi,

Which detail tape does everyone prefer?

I use the blue 3m tape for most of my taping. Also, Walmart by me carries the 3m green tape in the auto section if anyone needs this for those delicate spots or single stage paint.

That is good to know about the gree if it is less sticky. Any problems with keeping it on the paint and not sticking well?

The green sticks well but will remove easier. ALways use caution when removing tape. One can not just YANK it off. Go slowly. Pull the tape back towards you if possible......slowly!

I use the 3m blue tape too. I haven't seen the green one, but I'll have to check that out. :)

I use the Blue 3M tape but going to try the Green or something else next, sometimes the Blue leaves a sticky residue on trim and rubber moldings that's a pain to get off. Heard the other ones don't leave any residue.

Blue painters tape. The brand don't really matter much to me.
