Which product should be used to mask next to a part that is being painted around?

Fine line masking tape is specifically designed for situations where precision is essential, such as when painting around intricate details or sharp lines on a part. This type of tape is thinner and has a more flexible adhesive compared to standard masking tape, allowing for sharper paint edges and reducing the risk of paint bleed under the tape.

Using fine line masking tape facilitates cleaner, more defined transitions between colors or between painted and unpainted areas, which is crucial for achieving a professional finish. It can conform to curves and contours better than regular masking tape, making it ideal for intricate jobs.

While other masking products can be used for different types of masking jobs, they may not provide the same level of detail and precision as fine line masking tape, especially near edges where accuracy is crucial.
