3M 7000088390 Masking Tape 3 in 60 Yd Paint Masking

Product Description

The 3M 7000088390 is a paper-backed masking tape designed for paint masking applications in automotive, industrial, and general trade environments. It measures 3 inches wide and 60 yards long with a 7.9 mil thickness, providing enough body to hold clean paint lines without tearing during application or removal. The rubber adhesive delivers firm tack to surfaces while remaining transfer-resistant, so it pulls away cleanly without leaving residue. Licensed tradespeople and finishing technicians working in body shops, manufacturing facilities, and field paint operations rely on this tape for consistent results on demanding masking tasks.

This tape is suited for paint masking in both shop and light industrial settings. It conforms to irregular surfaces and edges, making it useful for masking trim, hardware, glass, and adjacent panels during spray or brush application. It is rated for bake-cycle use up to 325 degrees F for up to 30 minutes, which makes it appropriate for automotive refinishing ovens and industrial coating cure cycles. It should not be subjected to prolonged outdoor exposure. The tan color provides good visibility during application and inspection.

Key Features

• Rubber adhesive is transfer-resistant and removes cleanly after bake cycles up to 325 degrees F for 30 minutes
• 7.9 mil paper construction is conformable to curved and irregular surfaces
• 29 lb/in tensile strength resists tearing during application and removal
• Paint flake-resistant backing helps maintain clean mask edges
• Meets ASTM D-6123 standard
• 3 inches wide by 60 yards long — standard roll format for professional use

Compatibility

Designed for paint masking applications on metal, glass, and finished surfaces in automotive refinishing and industrial coating environments where bake-cycle resistance is required.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry surfaces free of dust, oil, and loose material for best adhesion and clean removal. Remove tape promptly after the paint or coating process is complete — do not leave in place beyond the recommended bake window or allow extended outdoor exposure. No special tools are required, though a tape gun or dispenser is recommended for consistent tension on long runs. Disposal should follow local regulations for adhesive waste materials.
