Key Features

• 3mm Width — The narrow 3mm width is ideal for detailed masking work, allowing you to create precise lines and access tight areas on RC bodies that wider tapes cannot reach, making it essential for intricate paint designs and graphics.
• 50-Metre Length — With 50 metres of tape on the roll, you have substantial coverage for multiple RC projects, reducing the need to purchase tape frequently and ensuring you always have enough for complex masking requirements.
• Extra Thick Formulation — The extra thick tape provides superior durability and stability during the painting process, preventing the tape from shifting, tearing, or peeling, which would otherwise compromise your paint lines and create messy results.
• No Bleed-Through Protection — Fastrax masking tape forms a reliable barrier that prevents paint from bleeding underneath the tape edges, ensuring crisp, clean lines between your masked areas and painted sections, just as you intended.
• Professional-Grade Quality — Designed specifically for the demands of scale model painting, this tape has been proven by RC enthusiasts across the UK to deliver consistent, reliable performance on all types of RC vehicle bodies and shells.

Technical Performance

Fastrax masking tape is engineered specifically for the exacting requirements of RC model preparation and painting. The extra thick tape construction provides exceptional adhesion to plastic RC bodies without damaging the surface when removed, a critical consideration when working with expensive bodywork. The 3mm width allows for precise application in areas where standard wider masking tapes cannot deliver the level of detail control that modern RC paint schemes demand. The material has been formulated to resist moisture and paint solvent penetration, ensuring no bleed-through occurs during spray application. The 50-metre roll length provides economy and convenience, allowing modellers to tackle multiple projects or complex multi-colour schemes without interruption. The tape's performance remains consistent throughout the roll, with reliable adhesion and easy removal after the paint has cured. This level of consistency and quality has made Fastrax masking tape a trusted choice for RC hobbyists working on everything from competition-grade RC trucks to weekend bashers looking to add custom liveries to their RC cars.
