Advanced Foam Masking Tape
Description
JTAPE Advanced Foam Masking Tape is an excellent alternative to standard, round, smooth-edge foam masking tapes, saving valuable time during the automotive painting process and leaving you with a high-quality finish with every application.
Our Advanced Foam Masking Tape is specifically designed for A, B & C posts, but can also be used to make the automotive painting process easier and more efficient around trickier apertures such as bonnets, doors and boots. It should be applied to the moving part of the vehicle, aside from the fender, where it should be applied to the fixed part of the vehicle. And thanks to the innovative offset adhesive, it can be applied and adjusted with ease. The unique design also helps prevent base and clear coat build up on the foam, ensuring a clean and professional finish with no build-up of hard edges.
JTAPE Advanced Foam Masking Tape is an excellent choice of automotive tape for many repair shop masking needs, from SMART repairs to blending paint jobs.
