3M Trim Masking Tape - 10mm - 3M Automotive

The 3M Automotive 6349 Trim Masking Tape, 10mm, is specifically engineered for professional automotive refinishers. This specialized masking tape provides precision when painting around exterior trim, utilizing an integrated hard band to subtly lift moldings and seals. This design allows paint to flow underneath, achieving a concealed, OEM-quality paint edge on various modern vehicles and enhancing masking efficiency.

Key Features

• Integrated 10mm Hard Band: Engineered to slide behind trim, moldings, and glass seals, this rigid yet flexible edge creates a consistently professional, concealed paint line, replicating original equipment manufacturer (OEM) finishes.
• Perforated, Hand-Tear Design: Pre-perforated sections enable clean, precise tearing by hand, minimizing the need for cutting tools and accelerating workflow in collision repair and paint shops.
• Clean-Removal Adhesive: This robust adhesive provides secure attachment to metal, glass, rubber, plastic, and painted surfaces, removing cleanly without residue even after bake cycles up to 250°F (121°C) for 30 minutes.
• Conformable Polymeric Film Backing: The flexible blue film readily conforms to tight curves and intricate contours, ensuring consistent adhesion and preventing lifting during application on challenging vehicle surfaces.
• Shop-Ready Durability: Constructed to withstand common solvents and moisture, this professional masking tape delivers reliable performance against basecoats, clear coats, and other chemicals in body shop environments.

Applications

This 3M trim masking tape is designed for a broad spectrum of professional automotive applications on passenger cars, light trucks, SUVs, and commercial vehicles. It is ideal for masking side moldings, belt moldings, and body side cladding to achieve clean paint transitions, and for creating sharp lines around flush-mount windshields, back glass, and fixed quarter glass. Technicians can also use these masking tapes for working around inset door handles, roof drip moldings, and pillar trim during blend repairs and full resprays, as well as for masking tail lamps and other exterior trim components for two-tone and custom paint jobs.
