    The blue painters tape or the purple?

    Which do you use? The purple is extra delicate but I don't know if the machine will pull it up or not so I 'stuck' with the blue. Although pulling that one up shows that it sticks like heck.

    Ok, back on topic. I've only used the green tape.

    Let's see............ Green here too but I have to admit I have blue as well. I prefer the green but it is pricey compared to the blue painters tape.

    Re: The blue painters tape or the purple?

    I started with Blue tape but it would leave a little sticky residue when trying to peel up the corner when taking the tape off the vehicle. I switched to green and it will leave no residue. The green is automotive where blue isn't. I know the green is more expensive but IMO you get what you pay for. I bought some green tape here at AG as I shopped around and the prices seemed the same everywhere. Last time I was in my local NAPA store, they had some on sale so I bought a few more rolls.

    It's been awhile since I've used anything but the green 3M tape we sell. No complaints here.

    I use both the green and blue. Just depends on what I have on hand at the time.

    I use blue, but I'll have to try green to see if there is a noticeable difference in how user-friendly it is.

    I just used the 3/4" and 2" Meguiar's tape last week on a detail. I like it. It's not quite as thick as the green tape, but it sticks well and removes easy enough. You can not beat the price on it right now either. I was actually using some 3/8" 3M 233+ green tape and for some reason it was just not sticking very good, so I grabbed my new Meguiar's tape and it worked just fine.
