Product Overview: 3M Blue Fine-Line Tape has proberly been the most used masking system ever made, made from a PVC tape that with stands basecoats and is repositionable multiple times. The tape has extremely clean cut edges for high definition work and will conform to 95% of your curves. It is a standard 33mtrs in length and comes singularly pre-packaged to give you the same quality every time. Sizes available :1/8”, 1/4” & 1 /2” This is our Hot Rod proto-type on a colour- bond sign blank that is 2.500mm long x 600mm high. The background has been undercoated in a grey mix of Auto-Air sealer dark and white, then we have used straight sealer black and white to do a simple stone effect. Dried overnight and with proper pre-work it is now ready for any masking we can through at it. Auto-Air Sealer is undercoat which can take solvents as well as Createx Wicked & Auto-Air paints. The line work is being layed down for our graphics, one of this tapes best attributes is also its only flaw. The tape being PVC is very flexible meaning you may stretch it as you lay down a curve, this is what helps brake the tapes memory so it doesn’t try to contract to its original shape allowing flowing curves as well as straight lines. If you are applying too much pressure while stretching the tape it will alter the line width making it smaller, not really a problem unless your tape line in the design is to be a middle line in your graphic, that’s just a hint to remember when stretching the tape.

from a PVC tape that with stands basecoats and is repositionable multiple times. The tape has extremely clean cut edgesfor high definition work and will conform to 95% of your curves. It is a standard 33mtrs in length and comes singularlypre-packaged to give you the same quality every time. Sizes available :1/8”, 1/4” & 1 /2”
This is our Hot Rod proto-type on a colour-bond sign blank that is 2.500mm long x600mm high. The background has beenundercoated in a grey mix of Auto-Airsealer dark and white, then we have usedstraight sealer black and white to do asimple stone effect. Dried overnight andwith proper pre-work it is now ready for anymasking we can through at it. Auto-AirSealer is undercoat which can take solventsas well as Createx Wicked & Auto-Air paints.
The line work is being layed down for our graphics,one of this tapes best attributes is also its onlyflaw. The tape being PVC is very flexible meaningyou may stretch it as you lay down a curve, this iswhat helps brake the tapes memory so it doesn’ttry to contract to its original shape allowingflowing curves as well as straight lines. If you areapplying too much pressure while stretching thetape it will alter the line width making it smaller,not really a problem unless your tape line in thedesign is to be a middle line in your graphic, that’sjust a hint to remember when stretching the tape.
The Graphics have now been painted with CreatexWicked Paint straight from the bottle with a .1mmmini-jet and .5mm airbrush. I must say if your notusing Wicked Paints then you don’t know what yourmissing out on. These paints are for everythingfrom T-Shirts, Canvas, Wood, Ceramics, Skate Decks,Helmets, Automotive, Leather, Shoes, Fibreglass.The paint atomizes the same as solvent base coatswith a fine dot pattern, has no working windows soyou can clearcoat with two pack for Automotivewhenever you are finished, you can even come backto your project weeks later and keep applying paintwithout delimitation. It’s non-toxic and safe to use,cleans up with water, what more can you possibly want.
Being now satisfied with the design we are nowready to back mask the whole side of this car,when using on Auto-Air or Wicked Colors if youare in a humid environment such as the tropicaltimes of year to the north of capricorn inAustralia then the PVC tape will have troubleadhering to water based paints as the paint itselfwill absorb moisture in the air masking the surfaceslightly tacking which sweats off the fine line tape.It these situations use the 3M green automotivemasking tape.
Here again with fine line being more expensiveit is not recommended to use as a maskingproduct. The edges between the graphics, 3Mgreen masking tape is the go as well as re-outliningthe original graphic overlapping your tapes by50% to stop bleed thru’s.Again the whole background has been back maskedwith Automask Tape for its in-expensive price andthe speed in which a background can be masked up.With fine line I would always use the green maskingtape as the next line as Automask can lift off thefine line surface slightly in spots.
The first colour has been sprayed, Wicked Bluestraight from the bottle, this was given two lightercoats first up drying between then two mediumwet coats drying between. This paint is moreuser friendly in allowing heavier coats after theinitial two lighter coats have been applied.Because we have a secure base colour down nowwe are going to show you another technique youcan do by applying one very wet coat of WickedViolet.
A full wet coat is allowable now we have the basecolour dried, grab a plastic bag or gladwrap andrandomly dab the surface giving you the marbleeffect then dry the paint thoroughly.With solvent base coats you pay heavily for a verylimited marblize range.You can marblize any Auto-Air and Wicked Colour,even marblize a second or third overlaying colour.Because you have properly set the colours in-between colours they will not intermix allowingeach colour to be viewed as solid pigments. Nowimagine marblizing Auto-Air’s pearls and flakes!!
