3M Perforated Trim Masking Tape 06348

Why This Tape Matters for Auto Painting

The 3M Perforated Trim Masking Tape 06348 protects rubber moldings and trim on vehicles. It keeps them clean during painting, primer, or clearcoat work. Because of the design, you can spray around glass, trim, and moldings without removing them. As a result, you save time and avoid costly re-installation.

Smart Design: Hard Band + Perforations

This tape features a rigid band along one edge. You slide that band gently under trim or molding. It lifts the molding slightly away from the car body. Then paint flows beneath the molding during spraying. When you remove the tape, the molding drops back — leaving a clean, hidden edge.

Perforations across the tape make it easy to tear by hand. So you don’t need scissors or knives during masking work. This feature speeds up prep jobs and simplifies workflow.

Save Time and Money compared to Removing Trim

Normally, painting around trim requires removing and reinstalling rubber moldings or trim pieces. That costs time, labor and sometimes replacement parts. With 3M 06348 tape, you skip all that. You get good paint coverage, no overspray on trim, and no wasted effort.

Where to Use It

•Around windows, windshields, and back glass (especially direct-bonded glass)

•Side moldings, door trims, bumper trims

•Inset door handles, light housings, tail light assemblies, and other trim details

•Anywhere you want clean paint edges without removing trim

Easy to Apply

1.Clean surface and molding.

2.Slide the hard-edge band behind molding or trim.

3.Remove liner.

4.Mask adjoining panels as needed.

5.Spray paint.

6.Tear and remove tape — molding drops back cleanly.

This straightforward method reduces masking time and ensures a professional result.

Durable, Reliable Tape Construction

The backing uses strong polymeric film. It holds molding while lifting them and resists paint, solvents, and overspray. Also, the adhesive stays secure yet removes cleanly without residue. This makes the tape reusable for multiple applications.
