A Revolutionary Paint Masking Product
TurboTape, a revolutionary custom paint masking product, was created by Waterjet Tech, Inc. to meet the detailing demands of painting businesses and industries. This patented self-adhesive, beveled-edge foam masking tape product will successfully take paint design and customization well into the 21st Century.



A New Dimension in Paint Masking
TurboTape was first introduced to the aerospace industry as a way to mask off sections of aircraft and missiles in order to control, with precision and detail, the placement of radar absorbing paint. It's now becoming increasingly popular in the automotive, aircraft, and marine markets due to its cost-saving advantages over conventional masking methods. It's perfect for masking off hard-to-paint places like door jams, windows, and hoods, and for creating elaborate two-tone or multicolored designs!

Unlike conventional masking tapes, TurboTape is not flat. It's made of a thicker, closed-cell polyethylene foam backed with a specially formulated adhesive and protective layer. Each piece is waterjet cut on an angle. This beveled edge means that paint feathers smoothly and evenly - conforming to the design rather than to the paint masking material and leaving no hard break lines.

Because of its unique beveled-edge design, it surpasses the performance of traditional tapes by eliminating the hard edges that could later show up as lines or creases in your paint job. The beveled edges allow for a feathering effect which means the paint tapers off subtly and blends into the base paint with no visible break-line.

TurboTape custom paint masking was designed to handle today's thick paints, yield smooth breaklines, repel contaminating solvents, maintain flexibility through curves and loops, and withstand heat up to 220F.

This product is available in a variety of forms including:

• Roll Masking
• Strip Masking
• Custom Flat Shape Masks
• Templates and Stencils, and
• 3D Mask Assemblies from flat patterns

TurboTape is offered in a variety of custom width, lengths, and thicknesses as well as with straight or beveled edges. Whether you are customizing your hot rod or putting your company logo on work vehicles, make the job quick, easy, and professional looking with re-cut TurboTape logo templates for a completely personalized look. Simply peel away the white backing, place the stencils in the desired place, tape off, and you are ready to paint.

No matter what your skill level, TurboTape will give you the power to craft fine lines or broad strokes; draw straight lines or curves; feather edges, and reproduce simple designs or intricate art.

TurboTape really is a breakthrough innovation. It's a classic example of how one small discovery can have multiple use and produce long lasting benefits.
