Hi,

I'm new to the forum and apologize in advance if this question has been answered.

Which detail tape does everyone prefer?

3M blue painters tape.

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!
