Paint Masking Tape

TurboTape Smoothline 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.​
This VIDEO demonstrates how TurboTape easily turns corners and can be repositioned multiple times.

TurboTape Used in Utility Pole Structure Industry
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.
