3M Perforated Trim Masking Tape 06349 — Molding Paint Protection, 10 mm Hard Band, 50.8 mm x 10 m

3M Perforated Trim Masking Tape 06349: Molding Paint Protection

Designed for automotive masking projects, the 3M Perforated Trim Masking Tape 06349 combines practicality with precision. A 10 mm hard band sits at the tape edge, engineered to gently lift molding away from the vehicle body so paint can flow under the trim. The roll is 50.8 mm wide and 10 m long, giving you a substantial masking area while preserving edge control for flush mount windshields and back-glass moldings. This combination helps create clean, well-defined edges without the need to remove or re-home moldings during painting.

The perforations in the tape allow for hand tearing without tools, making setup quicker and less disruptive to the work sequence. A translucent liner further aids placement accuracy, while a strong polymeric film backing resists pull and tears, ensuring you can work with confidence and remove the tape in one clean piece when you’re finished. Note that this product is intended for industrial and occupational use only and is not sold for consumer use.
