Quality masking tape recommendations needed

ACME SS said

You are good my friend. I think I got my answer (3M) so this thread is probably worn out anyways, LOL.

I don't normally use fine line tape but for something like this, I would use it for the fine edges, then use regular tape for the remaining areas. That said, some of the fine line tape is not good at making turns (smooth plastic type comes to mind). I would look for a good quality (probably 3M) narrow tape that is more of a traditional masking type (not the smooth plastic type) since it seems to turn better from my experience.
Good luck.

One fine line tip I can give you. Most people do it backwards in my mind. They lay down the fine line and then the 3/4 tape on top of that and any masking paper over that. When it comes time to unmask you have to get all that material off the fine line first.... when in my mind if you do it backwards to that all you have to do is pull the fine line off and let it harden. I do this because in a bake cycle the heat tends curl the fine line and will ruin the edge or lay in the fresh paint. I pull it after I'm done spraying it and before the clear strings.
