3M 7100145501 Perforated Trim Masking Tape 2 in X 10.94 Yd

Product Description

The 3M 7100145501 is a perforated trim masking tape designed for automotive body and paint work. It features a rigid band along one edge that slips behind moldings, lifting them slightly away from the body surface. This allows paint to flow beneath the molding while the tape masks the exterior face, producing a clean, concealed paint edge without removing or replacing the molding. The tape measures 2 inches wide and 10.94 yards long per roll. A strong polymeric film backing resists pull force and removes in a single piece, reducing the chance of tearing mid-application.

This tape is used in auto body shops and production paint environments where speed and clean edges are critical. The perforated design allows hand tearing without scissors or a dispenser, cutting down on downtime between tasks. The translucent liner aids in precise placement along molding edges. It is suited for residential and commercial vehicle refinishing where molding removal is impractical or would risk damage to clips and trim pieces.

Key Features

• Rigid band at tape edge lifts moldings slightly for concealed paint lines beneath
• Perforations enable clean hand tearing without tools
• Strong polymeric film backing removes in one piece without tearing
• Translucent liner allows precise placement along trim edges
• Eliminates need to remove or clean auto body moldings before painting
• Helps reduce molding replacement by preserving existing trim during paint operations

Compatibility

Designed for use with automotive body moldings and trim in professional auto body paint applications where masking without molding removal is required.

Installation Notes

Application should be performed by a trained auto body or paint technician familiar with masking techniques. Ensure the vehicle surface is clean and dry before applying tape. Slip the rigid band edge gently behind the molding without forcing clips or trim pieces. Remove tape promptly after painting while the finish is still slightly tacky to avoid lifting cured paint edges.
