    I can actually relate to what he said about the tape because once you’ve experienced tape taking off paint [luckily it was not a customers vehicle] you learn to become extra cautious about using it.

    Just because it’s specifically made for use on auto paint doesn’t guarantee it’s going to be 100% safe as this tape has more adhesion than typical painters tape.



    Once you’ve experienced tape accidentally removing paint, you best believe it changes you. Lol. I applied tape and removed it the moment after taking this picture yesterday and taking pics like this is not something I prefer to do these days. [I only did it per customers request]

    That may be for some brands, but 3M has like 100 different masking tapes all tweaked for a particular application. Oh, sorry, make that 2509 different masking tapes: https://www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/?Ntt=masking+tape
