3M 7100020228 Automotive Masking Tape 0.94 in 35 Yd

Product Description

The 3M 7100020228 is a green-backed automotive performance masking tape designed for body shop and refinishing applications. The conformable backing flexes around curves and contours without breaking, allowing technicians to maintain consistent masking lines across complex panel shapes. A primer layer bonds the adhesive to the backing, which reduces adhesive transfer and minimizes scraping after removal. A release coating on the outer surface allows smooth, wrinkle-free unwinding directly from the roll. The tape is sold by the roll and ships in a minimum quantity of 24 rolls per order.

This tape is suited for automotive refinishing, spot repair, and production masking work where clean paint lines and residue-free removal are required. The adhesive activates on contact, holds firmly during painting and flash-off, and releases cleanly without leaving significant sticky residue on primed or painted surfaces. It is a common choice for collision repair shops and detailing facilities performing panel repaint or multi-stage finish work.

Key Features

• Conformable green backing flexes around curves and body contours without breaking
• Adhesive resists lifting and curling to maintain sharp, defined paint lines
• Primer layer bonds adhesive to backing to reduce residue transfer and cleanup time
• Release coating allows smooth, consistent unwinding and reduces wrinkling
• Removes cleanly with minimal sticky residue left on the masked surface

Compatibility

Designed for use in automotive refinishing and body shop masking applications on primed, painted, and bare metal surfaces where clean adhesive removal is required.

Installation Notes

Applied by hand or with a tape dispenser along panel edges, trim lines, and body contours before painting or priming. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application to achieve full adhesion. Remove tape promptly after the finish has flashed according to the coating manufacturer guidelines to minimize residue risk. No special tools are required, but a tape applicator tool can improve speed and consistency on long straight runs.
