3M 7000028866 Fine Line Masking Tape 0.25in X 60yd

Product Description

The 3M 7000028866 is a fine line film-backed masking tape rated at 5.0 mil thickness, designed for precision paint line work and masking applications in automotive, industrial, and finishing trades. The film backing stretches to follow smooth curves while holding crisp lines on straight runs. Adhesion to steel measures 37 oz per inch of width, and the tape resists moisture and solvent exposure during the masking process. Its low profile reduces paint buildup at the tape edge, producing clean color separation when removed. This tape is applied and removed by painters, body technicians, and finishing professionals.

This tape is used in automotive body shops, industrial finishing operations, and manufacturing environments where sharp paint lines are required. It is suited for both long straight masking runs and curved contours. The film backing allows application over fresh paint sooner than conventional paper masking tapes, reducing the risk of imprint damage to recently applied coatings. It is sold by the roll with a minimum order quantity of 144 rolls.
