3M 7000045441 Steel Gray Masking Paper 18in X 1000ft

Product Description

The 3M 7000045441 is a steel gray masking paper engineered for professional paint masking applications in automotive, marine, RV, and commercial truck refinishing work. The paper is constructed to be strong, flexible, and pliable, allowing it to conform to curved body panels and complex contours without tearing. It resists sealers, solvents, solvent-borne and waterborne paints, and clear coat systems, making it a reliable barrier material during spray and booth operations. Sold as a roll measuring 18 inches wide by 1000 feet long, it covers large surface areas efficiently and reduces the frequency of roll changes during active jobs.

This masking paper is suited for body shop technicians, marine painters, and fleet refinishing crews who require consistent bleed-through resistance across multiple coating chemistries. It performs in both open-air and enclosed spray booth environments and is appropriate for use as a primary masking material on vehicle body panels, frames, glass edges, and trim lines. The 18-inch width is a standard shop size compatible with most masking paper dispensers and stand-mounted applicator machines.

Key Features

• Resists sealers, solvents, paints, and clear coat systems used in automotive and marine refinishing
• Strong, flexible, pliable construction conforms to curved and irregular surfaces without tearing
• 18-inch width fits standard shop masking dispensers and applicator stands
• 1000-foot roll length reduces mid-job roll changes on large-scale refinishing work
• Steel gray color helps differentiate masked areas from painted surfaces during inspection

Compatibility

Formulated for use in automotive, marine, RV, and truck painting applications and compatible with most solvent-borne and waterborne sealer, paint, and clear coat systems used in professional refinishing environments.

Installation Notes

Apply using a masking paper dispenser or tape-and-drape applicator for consistent coverage and edge adhesion. Ensure all surfaces are clean and dry before masking to prevent lifting during spray operations. Remove masking paper promptly after the appropriate flash or cure period specified by the coating manufacturer to avoid edge lifting or paint peeling. Handling and disposal of solvent-contaminated masking materials should follow applicable local environmental regulations.
