Making tape for curved paint lines?

[red73mustang]

Is there any good masking tape the is "Bendable" for creating curved paint lines or should I just use conventional masking tape?

Search for "Fine Line Tape" this will give you a narrow sharp line, and then you can back this up with conventional masking tape.

Use a vinyl tape, 3m's fine line is a super common one.

Ditto on the "Fine Line" tape. It is vinyl and bends around curves very easy. Then you tape over the top of it with your masking tape.

Now I have found some masking tape that is only about 3/16" wide, but I can't remember where I bought it at. I think it was at my jobbers. But your still better off using the "Fine Line" tape.

I was just looking into this the other day: 3M Vinyl Tape 471

Its about $12 on Amazon.

Make a stop your local autobody supply store. They should be able to hook you up with some fine line tape.

Just regular pinstriping tape works great but it's kinda spendy.

Letraset vinyl is good. Used in the graphic arts and sign painting too. Letraset Letraline Flex-A-Tape is one name for it. It was used as the line as often as it was used for masking.
