3M High Performance Masking Tape (#3434) should not be confused with the stickier general purpose blue masking tapes that are sold in many DIY stores; 3M High Performance Masking Tape is made specifically for masking up vehicles in professional bodyshops, and is used worldwide in this role. Featuring an exceptionally water-resistant, low-tack, rubber-derived adhesive, this paper-based tape does not lift when lightly wetted and, unlike the stickier general purpose tapes mentioned above, leaves no adhesive residue behind on exterior vehicle surfaces once removed.
