Consumables..

So yeah I put the stonechip on my car today, Masked off the appropriate areas and sprayed it on. All was well until I came to peel the mask off.. Most of it ended up staying stuck to the primer

I want to get some good quality tape, paper and also sand paper. Can anyone recommend any brands/online stores?

Cheers

get some tape from your local automotive paint supplier they always have decent stuff

Bit of warmth on it, heat gun or hair dryer, will sort it.

Anything with 3M written on it is reliable, and as ^ anything sold by a proper paint shop.

Yup I only use 3M tape, reliable stuff, cheap tape is exactly that !!!

Definately go with the 3M tape, some (not all) of the cheaper brand are terrible for leaving residue. Ask any Car refinish supplier for the 3M 2328 Brand as this is the best general purpose one out there and shouldn't be too expensive.

I've got a few rolls of Starchem tape 1" and 2" and they are not bad for adhesion and removal but not as flexible as 3M tape.
