Professional indigo vinyl masking tape for high-temperature paint applications with semi-translucent backing for precise alignment, clean removal, and superior conformability to curved surfaces.
3M™ Vinyl Tape 471+ is a premium conformable vinyl masking tape specifically engineered for high-temperature paint applications and fine line masking operations. This professional-grade tape features a semi-translucent indigo backing that provides visual clarity for precise alignment during application, making it ideal for complex striping patterns, color separation, and detailed design work. The tape's versatile rubber adhesive delivers quick stick and excellent holding strength on most surfaces including metals, paints, plastics, resins, and compound surfaces. With unique stretch properties, the tape conforms excellently to curves, irregular surfaces, and uneven contours with a minimum radius of 1.5 inches, remaining stretched without lifting to prevent paint bleed.
Designed for demanding industrial paint masking applications, 3M™ Vinyl Tape 471+ maintains superior performance during high-temperature bake cycles up to 250°F (121°C) for up to 30 minutes. The tape removes cleanly without adhesive residue, ghosting, or adhesion build-up, preserving sharp paint lines and protecting adjacent surfaces during sanding operations. Its flexible vinyl backing is abrasion-resistant and ensures one-piece removal that maintains the integrity of detailed paint work. This tape is recommended for automotive masking, precision paint designs, on-line paint repair, and specialty vehicle applications where quality and precision are paramount.
Each roll measures 1/8 inch (3.2 mm) wide by 36 yards (32.9 meters) long with a total thickness of 5.3 mil (0.135 mm), featuring a 3-inch (7.62 cm) core size. The product comes individually wrapped for convenient handling and storage, with an 18-month shelf life from the date of manufacture. This tape is for industrial and occupational use only and meets the rigorous standards required by aerospace, automotive, general industrial, specialty vehicle, and transportation manufacturers.
