Im sure this is a question that has been asked a million times, but what is a good masking tape to use? Will something I can get from Home Depot work? School me please!

3M performance Automotive masking tape is the best

Where can i get it at? would Home Depot or any box stores carry it? Or Autozone or somewhere like that?

Auto zone possibly but any auto body store will have it or you can pick some up online

Frog Tape, Blue Painters, those will all work well as long as you don't leave them on for days.

I like 3M 233+ better than 3M Performance Masking Tape

It conforms to curves better and is less expensive

The 3M Performance Masking Tape is Great for 50/50 shots, becasue the backing is not Crepe like the 2333+ and it doesnt make your Compound Dust as much

Also really like the new tape from CarPro

I'll toss in my additional vote for the 3M 233+ tape and available right here from AG. LOVE that tape! I bought the 3 pack and use the heck out of the various widths.

...and sometimes it happens leaving the tape for only 5-6 hours.

I'll take 3M AUTOMOTIVE tape any day of the week, or this Meguiars Professional Masking Tape, auto masking tape, car masking tape, detailing tape.

The blue tape was edge-loc...and it was super tough to remove, especially from the ladder racks. The green tape was 3m automotive tape and it came right off.
