Paint Masking Tape
TurboTape patented self-adhesive, smoothline, beveled-edge foam masking tape (aka Shadow Masking) allows for a smooth transition and blending effect whereby the paint tapers off subtly and blends into the base paint... with no raised break-line!
It is manufactured from highly conformable, non contaminating, and solvent-resistant materials that allow the generation of super smooth transition and slick break lines, even when applied to the most complex three-dimensional surfaces and corners! And best of all, there is no adhesive transfer!

TurboTape can also be used side-by-side as a progressive peel masking allowing the color then clear can be shot back to back. TurboTape turns corners without creasing or deforming yielding superior results in stopping hard paint lines. Smooth lines and smooth transitions of coatings saves you time, money and gives you professional looking results.

TurboTape masking is used to generate soft edges and smooth transitions in almost any sprayed-applied coating or adhesive. The beveled-edge overhang forces the spray coating to break or terminate before coming into contact with the edge of the masking. The result is smoother coating transition lines and softer paint edges compared with the use of standard tapes.
TurboTape is available in Rolls, Reels, Strips, and Dots for specialized applications.

TurboTape Advantages
|
► Repositionable adhesive & liner to aid in precise location
► Generates soft edges and smooth transitions ► Turns corners & stays adhered with no masking lift ► No adhesive transfer! Parts remain free from residue ► Liner on tape eliminates adhesive contamination ► Masking will not sag into wet coatings, eliminating rework ► Solvent-proof XLPE foam construction will not melt & contaminate parts upon solvent wipe ► Consists of solvent resistant, non-contaminating material ► Eliminates under-spray ► Works on painted & primed surfaces ► More effective and economical than other soft-edges tapes ► Offered in a variety of thicknesses, lengths, and shapes. ► Aerospace approved for aircraft & defense!

INTRODUCING SMOOTHLINE tape!
In 1/8" and 1/16" thick Reels
Achieving smooth transitions and softer edges or lines in paint AND primer is now easier than ever before!
Our new Smoothline 1/8" and 1/16" thicknesses of are even more conformal than our thicker original shadow masking and are engineered and sized to fit along body lines and inside door jams.
