Tony's car "Karma" has arrived

Tape is rated in HOURS of use -- and or whether or not it can be exposed to sun.

Put some standard (tan) masking tape on something - set it in the sun for a couple hours... and then try pulling it off.

Green can be left on for a month - and take the sun - but according to 3M - you shouldn't leave it on or expose to the sun (I know this having owned a couple of Grand Banks - and doing LOTS of varnish work!).

Yellow is the 3M pro finishers tape - and can be exposed to UV and leaves no residue behind...

There is a "right" tape for almost every job... but it takes a little research like any of the rest of the parts we use etc. Get it wrong - and you've got a big mess.

Very true Greg!

At work we always use the 'one week' blue tape...however a couple times I HAD to use the 'one month' blue tape...BIG differance between the two! And the one month stuff was a LOT more money per roll! Less glue = more money...go figure! But there's a tool for every job so you have to pony up!

I'll never forget the guy in my marina that did his whole boat in cheap azz masking tape - the kind you'd use to tape up a box.... and painted and varnished and left the stuff on there for like a month...

It NEVER came off.... it turned hard as a rock - and the glue left staining on his white gel coat when he managed to get about a 1/4" of that stuff off...

What a mess!

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

There is a differnce in just the green tape from different manufacturers.
I used 3m green tape its been on stuff for over 6 months and it comes off with now issues. Blue stuff does not want to come of very easily now.
Car was never in the sun also.

Looks great !! I like the color

The paint looks great. I love the color and D90 style stripe. You just don't see it that often and it is a great looking stripe. Wheel choice is great too.
