Scotch Fine Line Tape 218 Green, 1/4 Inch Width - 3M Automotive

The 3M Scotch Fine Line Tape 218 Green, model 6301 (also known as 3M 06301), is engineered for precision masking in professional automotive and industrial paint applications. This 1/4 inch width tape is designed to deliver consistently sharp, accurate paint lines, making it indispensable for intricate detailing, tight curves, and custom graphic layouts where superior edge control is critical for a high-quality finish.

Key Features

• Precision 1/4 Inch Width: Optimized for executing fine striping, multi-tone separations, and complex custom graphics on vehicle panels, hoods, bumpers, and trim.
• High Conformability: The flexible polypropylene backing allows for smooth, consistent application around tight radii and complex contours without lifting, wrinkling, or buckling, minimizing the need for rework.
• Clean Removal: Formulated to release cleanly from cured OEM clearcoats, primers, and basecoat/clearcoat systems, reducing adhesive transfer and preserving sharp, defined lines.
• Temperature and Bake Resistance: Designed to withstand typical automotive paint booth bake cycles up to 250°F (121°C) for up to 30 minutes, maintaining adhesion and edge integrity throughout the curing process.
• Reliable Multi-Substrate Adhesion: The natural rubber pressure-sensitive adhesive bonds effectively to various surfaces, including steel, aluminum, plastic, fiberglass, and composite panels, with predictable removal after painting.

Applications

Scotch Fine Line Tape 218 Green 6301 is commonly utilized in collision repair centers, custom paint shops, and industrial finishing lines. It performs reliably on passenger cars, light trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, and fleet vehicles for two-tone layouts, elaborate graphics, and precise color transitions. Its conformability and edge quality also make it a suitable choice for marine, aerospace, rail, and general industrial coating operations requiring tight radius masking and consistent separation lines.
