3M Vinyl Tape 471+, 1/4 in x 36 yd, Indigo, 1 Roll, Fine Line Tape for Paint Masking Striping, Color Separation and Complex Designs, High-Temperature, Stretch

If you are here buying 3M 471+ FINE LINE You obviously know what it’s for so there isn’t much I can say that would steer you in the proper direction. And if you don’t know, this is flexible vinyl tape used to mask off designs, etc., for automotive paint work. It’s used for masking flames, stripes, really whatever you need to mask off and leave a very nice edge before clearcoat. Because of the cost, this is not tape that you let the kids use to tape papers together. Get a roll of scotch tape for that.

You get what you pay for. Very good adherents and masking as well as clean removal once done. The elasticity allows great flexibility.

works like it should, It's 3m so expect that for the price.

Bought as draping tape. I only did a few test runs but I can already tell it’s going to be easier to work with than other draping tape. It sticks much better and handles curves. I usually have to pin to keep draping tape in place, especially over curves. I was able to pull it off and restick without it curling over on itself or curling at the ends.100% worth spending a little extra.

Great tape, sticks great. Its just thick enough to handle curves and pretty durable

Let the pics speak for themselves

Very nice product, a little darker than what I was looking for

This tape is awesome. If you are making an epoxy table with wavy edges where epoxy meets slab, you can mask the wood and wet sand the epoxy all you like and the wood stays dry. Does not peel, lift, leak, no matter how wet it gets, holds up to higher grit sandpaper banging into it, and comes off perfectly clean.

ottimo prodotto

Excellent tackiness and easy to apply and adjust. I used this is as the ‘fine’ line to get a precise edge and then overlaid it with a wider masking tape to provide the overpaint protection. Did the job perfectly.

Teuer aber funktioniert einwandfrei

très intéressant pour faire des courbes car souple

Recently I acquired a Challenger Scat Pack that I was debadging and refinishing to a different color. I wanted the car to have a retro look to the finish and painted striping that I was planning on putting under the clear of the paint rather than modern vinyl striping on the clear more common today. I purchased this tape to lay out the lines and crossed my fingers that I would get no bleed through when using solvent reduced base coat paint with it. I turned out amazing. This tape allows you to stretch when forming the radius of the stripe and can be pulled with tension to make a straight line. If surface is clean and using a tack cloth prior to laying tape it will stick nicely and not allow bleed through. Do your prep properly and you will have good results with this tape.
