3M 7000123523 High Temp Paint Masking Film 3in X 1500ft

Product Description

The 3M 7000123523 is a high-temperature paint masking film designed for gross masking applications in automotive and fleet refinishing environments. At 3.4 mil nominal thickness (2.9 mil measured physical thickness), the translucent polyfilm delivers a soft, flexible construction that drapes and conforms easily over contoured body panels and fascia. It protects against solvent and paint bleed-through more effectively than conventional masking paper and eliminates fiber contamination associated with paper-based products. Licensed painters, body shop technicians, and OEM line workers use this film for two-tone paint layouts, blackout masking, and spot repair work on cars, buses, trucks, and plastic fascia components.

This film is suited for OEM production lines and collision repair shops handling high-volume masking tasks. It is rated for use up to 310 degrees F, making it compatible with bake-cycle environments in automotive paint booths. The translucent construction allows technicians to see masked panel geometry through the film, reducing misalignment errors during layout. It is designed to be dispensed directly from a roll using standard apron-style masking machines, allowing tape and film to be applied simultaneously for faster masking setups.

Key Features

• Rated for temperatures up to 310 degrees F — suitable for automotive paint booth bake cycles
• Translucent film allows visibility of the masked surface during application
• Soft, flexible construction conforms to curved panels and complex body contours
• Resists solvent and paint bleed-through better than standard masking paper
• No fiber contamination — eliminates debris associated with paper masking products
• Compatible with apron-style tape dispensers for simultaneous tape-and-film application

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard masking tapes in OEM automotive painting, two-tone paint application, blackout masking, and collision repair on autos, buses, trucks, and fascia panels. Most automotive-grade paints and masking tapes bond well to the film surface.

Installation Notes

Apply using a standard apron-style masking machine or by hand from a dispenser roll. Ensure the surface to be masked is clean and dry before application to achieve proper tape-to-film adhesion at the border. Follow all applicable shop safety procedures and paint booth operating guidelines when working with solvent-based coatings. Remove masking film promptly after the bake cycle while the surface is still warm to minimize edge lifting or paint pull.
