Overview
Built for the job.
3M™ Automotive Refinish Masking Tape is designed for masking before painting it bends and stretches to follow curved body lines with no edge lifting, leaves sharp paint lines, removes easily with no adhesive transfer. Waterborne paint compatible.
3M 06652 388N automotive masking tape is a high‑temperature, 6.3 mil thick, yellow tape designed for precise edge protection and paint line control during refinishing operations. Its 55 m length and 18 mm width make it suitable for large panels and detailed masking tasks in body shop environments.
The tape adheres reliably to both plastic and steel substrates, providing clean release without residue after curing. Its formulation tolerates the heat generated during spray‑on paint curing, ensuring consistent masking performance throughout the finish cycle. Standard personal protective equipment, including gloves and eye protection, should be worn when handling the tape, and adequate shop ventilation is recommended during paint application.
