Our 3M Hookit Purple Finishing Film Abrasive Discs 260L are built onto a durable film backing that adds conformability, and our specially formulated coating preserves the life of the aluminum oxide mineral. The 260L discs are ideal for leveling orange peel, dust nibs or paint runs in all types of automotive paint, gel coat and clear coat. The 3M Hookit Purple Finishing Film Abrasive Discs are used for scuffing blend areas prior to painting and removing defects prior to paint finishing. The new discs are much faster and easier to use than scuffing pads. The discs produce fewer pigtails during any application and reduce deep scratches, comebacks and rework, saving time and money in collision repair operations. Several versions of our 260L abrasive discs are designed with hole patterns to give dust a better escape route, moving more dust away from your finishing surface without loading the disc. This makes for a cleaner work environment, a cleaner work surface and longer disc life. Better Science for Better Sanding from 3M The 3M � Hookit � Purple Finishing Film Abrasive Disc 260L carries our Purple designation which indicates the latest 3M technology, greatest performance and highest quality available in an abrasive disc. From its high-performance aluminum oxide abrasive to its reformulated coating, this finishing film disc combines performance, durability and long-lasting efficiency for improved throughput. It’s another example of what 3M does best: Science. Applied to Life.TM. Review: This tape is the bomb. - This tape is amazing. Sticks really well, stands up to solvents, and even the laser cleaner, leaves no residue. If you’re using automotive paints, get some! You’ll never go back to blue tape. Don’t use this over freshly painted areas because it’s strong and will pull up fresh paint. Ask me how I know… Review: Fantastic - Why did you pick this product vs others?: This is night and day difference to basic blue painters tape I was getting at Home Depot. This stuff actually stays adhered very well but still leaves no residue when removing. And I am no longer having the issue of paint "creeping" under the edge of tape. This gives me clean line. Worth the additional cost. 3M almost never disappoints. ## Features - TOUGH: Durable crepe paper backing helps resist solvents and moisture while minimizing bleed through - STRONG ADHESIVE: Tape sticks and stays on moldings, plastic, glass, metal, rubber and painted surfaces due to a proprietary rubber-based adhesive - DEPENDABLE USABILITY: Fits contours and curves for great usability and tear resistance - HEAT RESISTANT: Resists temperatures up to 250 °F (121 °C) for up to 30 minutes - EASY REMOVAL: Removes without leaving adhesive residue - HIGHLY VISIBLE: Bright yellow backing helps improve visibility for accurate edge alignment - CLEAN LINES: Balanced construction produces sharp, clean, quality paint lines - For industrial/occupational use only.

Thank you for your question. No, the 3M 06656 Automotive Refinish Masking Tape would not be the appropriate product for your application. **Q: can you put this tape directly onto vehicle? will it leave residue?** A: Well, I'm not a paint guy, but I used it to mask off trim and other bits so I could wax my vehicle. This tape didn't leave any residue. Other tapes I have tried did leave adhesive on the vehicle. This is why I purchased this tape. **Q: is this a full case or just 1** A: My order was just 1 roll. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This tape is the bomb. *by E***R on February 3, 2026* This tape is amazing.
