ABSTRACT:
A masking tape used in spray application or removal of coatings along a demarcation line. The tape is engineered so that during the spraying process the coating being applied or the abrasive grit being used to remove a coating makes substantially no contact with the lateral edge of the tape along a shadow zone flanking the demarcation line. The shadow zone is formed between the demarcation line and the tape in line of sight with the coating or grit being sprayed. In a preferred embodiment for use in spray painting vehicles on a production basis, the body of the tape is rubber with a release coating applied to its top surface formed of polyethylene film.
