Great video well done. One thing to remember is to keep your tape enclosed as much as possible and keep it stored away from sunlight or bright lights. This breaks down the tape.
I use that thin detailing pin striping tape from the auto parts store. The roll I get has three different sizes on it. The narrow for trim lines and making bends around corners. Then mask with the painters tape or masking tape to cover. The blue Painter tape is about .005'' thick, the vinyl detailing tape is about half that thickness.
This guy is correct; the automotive fine line tape is a bit more pricey but trust me also, it works!! If you want a good tight edge this is what you need.
i was just gonna use the blue scotch low adhesive, but after watching this im going to canadian tire tommorow to pick up some 3M auto masking tape, i want this Camaro to look sweeeeet!!!
Great info! The Tamiya tape is great, but you're right...the price is a little much for what you get. I'll have to invest in some of the 3m tape for sure. Thanks!
Hey, thanks for this video, very good information. A tip I've found to remove dust off the edges of tape rolls it to use other tape! Stick it on and peel it off and the dust comes right off.
Great video on tape Andy. I use only automotive type tape and I get it from our paint supplier for the autobody shop. Like you said, you get 4-5X more tape for the same money. Keep these great videos coming bud. Keep on building.
@GetYourModelOn problem with frog tape is it's thick , it has the extra "paint block" layer that reacts against latex paints,.. but it will also leave a tall ridge , due to it's thickness. in the case of models ..the thinner the tape the better.
My first ever model kit was the 1/350 scale USS New York LPD and I was using just generic masking tape for painters. When I took it all off it wasn't terrible but there was a little bit of bleed through on some of the edges and there was tape glue residue left on the model. I wont make that mistake again...
Awesome. Thanks :) tried masking with blue painters tape and it was just too thick to cut w/o having to worry about cutting too deep and cutting my custom piece
@chev12olet Auto paint supply shops ,, you can also get it online from places like tcp global. ..Even with shipping it's worth the price if you get 3-4 different size rolls.
AWESOME VID ON TAPE GREAT POINTERS AND INFO !! ONE QUESTION WHERE DO YOU BUY THE 3M FINE LINE TAPE ? AUTO ZONE OR A AUTO PAINT AND BODY SHOP LIKE SAY A SERVICE KING IF THEY EVEN SELL OR CARRY THAT ?
Very informative VID. There is another tape called FROG Tape. It resists bleeding, tearing and has a clean release however it is a Pro Painter's Masking Tape. Peace
You answered a lot of my questions. Now, I understand why I can't get sharp lines when masking. Thanks for the information
I know this video is a few years old but it has been super super helpful! Thank you!!!
TY Andy for another great video. I am watching this video almost 9 months after it was shot and the material is priceless! TY for sharing.

Can you use masking tape itself for pinstriping on like model trains.

This was a very informative video loved it helped out a lot; wish I would've watched it 12 hours ago!😁
Ya know, I never even thought about it. I always used the blue tape. But I see what you're saying. Thanks for that tip.
Thanks. Helped me out alot.
I hope you answer,this is an older video! I like you video. What about make bends? How do you make a turn? or a bend?
May be a late reply but tamiya has a new kind of tape specifically for that purpose. its super thin.
This is the definitive video regarding masking tape.
Nothing more to say.
I tried to paint two tone paint on a dicast car but the adhesive chemically reacted to the paint i tried everything im about to give up
so true my brother, great tip, i learned the hard way, until i started using tamiya masking tape & fine line tape, kutgw !
