Our Range of Car Paint Masking Tape
Our selection covers everything required for preparation, taping, and controlled overspray management.
- High-Temperature Automotive Masking Tape: Designed for strong adhesion without tearing clearcoat on removal. Ideal for bake cycles, solvent exposure, and long masking runs on bodylines and jambs.
- Pre-Taped Masking Film Rolls: Perfect for isolating larger areas quickly. Available in multiple widths to cover doors, bonnets, roofs, and full sides with minimal waste.
- Masking Paper Rolls: A dependable choice for overspray control on panels and trim. The 50gsm paper resists soak-through and is easy to dispense.
- Fine Line Tape: Made for crisp colour separations and custom work. Flexible enough to follow curves without losing grip, and engineered to prevent bleed on metallics and pearls.

Auto Masking Tape FAQs
Can I use standard household masking tape for automotive painting?
No. Household tape cannot handle solvents, heat, or extended spray sessions and often bleeds or lifts. Automotive tape is engineered specifically for refinishing.
What width masking tape should I choose?
Narrow widths suit detail work and tight edges, while wider tape offers broader coverage and stability for large areas.
Is masking film better than masking paper?
Each has its place. Film is ideal for large surfaces and static control, while paper excels at closer work around edges, trims, and panel gaps.
