3M 7100055258 Vinyl Tape 471+ Indigo 0.125in X 36yd

Product Description

The 3M 7100055258 is an indigo vinyl tape designed for fineline paint masking and precision striping applications. It features a conformable vinyl backing bonded with a rubber adhesive, giving it the flexibility to follow curves and contours without lifting. The tape carries color throughout its full thickness rather than printed on the surface, so the indigo hue holds up even under heavy abrasion. Dead-stretch properties keep the tape from rebounding after application, which helps technicians lay down straighter, cleaner lines. Clean removability means the tape pulls away without leaving adhesive residue behind under normal use conditions.

This tape is suited for automotive body shops, industrial painting operations, and surface preparation work where crisp paint edges are required. Its conformability makes it a reliable choice for masking curved panels, trim lines, and detail work. The 0.125-inch width is sized for tight fineline work where wider tapes would bridge gaps or obscure adjacent surfaces. Packaged as individual rolls, it is sold in case quantities typically used by production shops and fleet refinishing operations.

Key Features

• Color maintained throughout vinyl backing, not surface-printed, resists abrasion fade
• Dead-stretch construction reduces tape rebound for straighter masking lines
• Conformable vinyl backing follows curves and irregular contours
• Rubber adhesive provides secure bond with clean, residue-free removal
• 0.125-inch width optimized for fineline paint masking and precision striping
• 36-yard roll length reduces mid-job tape changes on longer runs

Compatibility

Designed as a fineline masking tape for use on automotive, industrial, and commercial painted surfaces where precise paint lines and clean removal are required.

Installation Notes

Apply to clean, dry, and dust-free surfaces for best adhesion and edge definition. Remove tape promptly after paint application per the coating manufacturer's recommended flash time to ensure clean removal without tearing or residue transfer. Avoid stretching the tape beyond its dead-stretch limit during application, as over-tensioning can cause edge lift or distortion of the masked line.
