Selecting the Right Scotch-Blue™ Painter’s Tape

The success of any painting project depends on making sure you have the right tools at hand. That includes selecting the Scotch-Blue™ Painter’s Tape that will work best for your project. This Tape Selector Chart makes it easy.

  • Look for the surface you need to mask. (Remember, that this is not the surface you are painting!)
  • If more than one tape is recommended for a surface, consider removal time and adhesion level needed to help determine the right tape for your project.
