What brand masking tape are you guys using with Ranthane or Aerothane? I have been painting my aluminum skins which I have primed both sides and painted the inside surfaces. I decided to test my Ranthane spraying skills on these panels so I masked off the inside painted surfaces with the basic blue painters tape I picked up at the local xmart along with masking paper. I thought this tape would serve the purpose of just keeping the overspray off where I didn't want it which it did however if it even had a hint of overspray on it, it was a pain to get off 24 hours after painting.

What tape is safe to use and gives a clean line when masking for stripes etc.? My local auto parts store carries the yellow 3M #233. Also need a tape that you can mask a curve with.
