Designed for fine line and critical paint masking, our 3M™ Vinyl Tape 471+ is a conformable tape with a semi-translucent backing. This durable tape is flexible and removes cleanly even after bake cycles, without adhesive build-up or ghosting. Use it on flat, curved, or compound surfaces to ensure exceptional paint lines in a variety of painting applications across a broad spectrum of industries.

Superior conformability, sharp paint lines and clean removal

Create Detailed and Fine Paint Lines

3M™ Vinyl Tape 471+ is a high-temperature paint masking tape designed to create sharp paint lines on complex jobs, including critical paint applications that feature detailed designs or curves. It has a semi-translucent indigo film backing designed to provide some visual clarity for alignment during application.


Designed with unique stretch properties, this tape conforms to rough, irregular, curved and convex surfaces. Tape remains stretched, without lifting to avoid paint bleed. The rubber adhesive offers quick stick and excellent holding strength on most substrates. 3M™ Vinyl Tape 471+ can be used in bake cycles at temperatures up to 250°F/121°C for up to 30 minutes. Once finished, it removes cleanly from most surfaces without adhesion build-up or ghosting. Conformability, instant adhesion and clean removal all make 3M™ Vinyl Tape 471+ an exceptional choice for your most critical paint masking operations.
