FAQ
Change habits…
You were happy with your Motorola 10 years ago, you were happy writing letters and sending faxes, driving petrol car but now you are happier with smartphones, internet, and even the Tesla car…. New technologies continuously change our life and make it better – we can say the same with the Q1 tape – it is based off newer technology.
Cars have changed over that time and so have the materials and paints. Q1® is designed using the latest thinking in European technology and it provides higher performance and can save you money at the same time.
Shops like yours always come under pressure to save costs. XX tapes don’t necessarily offer a value for the price. Now you have a cost-effective solution in Q1® that will save you money without sacrificing performance.
I have real sympathy for that situation…I’m guessing that the tapes you were given before were not used at the authorized repairer for Rolls Royce, McLaren, Lamborghini, Porsche, Bentley and Tesla. Q1® has been engineered working closely with Shorade one of the most prestigious and advanced authorized repair center for all of these vehicles in the UK. Might I show you a short clip to explain what does it mean? Click Here. I’ll provide a sample for you to try on a small panel and you can compare the result to what you are currently using.
Let me share with you the technical specs of the tape, you see that all of the performance parameters are similar or better than what you are currently using.
Product construction & performances…
The tape performs as well as any other high performance masking tape. It has been tested in the lab and in the field at shops like yours. The thickness is the result of the latest in masking technology. Try it for yourself and see the performance first hand.
Q1® Masking Tape provides a finer edge which leaves a more precise line during the painting process. There is less build-up along the edge, thus reducing additional rework.
It’s the length same as what you are buying today – 55m. The thinner European technology is a huge benefit and allows the rolls to be smaller and easier to handle. Which is an advantage over the bigger, bulkier rolls that we are used to.
That is a direct result of thoughtful design. The tape is meant to be applied by professionals who do not wish to skew the line when they are applying to the surface. How many times have you torn the tape and it resisted to where the tape line moved? The easy tear is a great feature of Q1® – it has been designed to provide “on demand” tearing with no slivering.
Yellow offers high visibility against the vast majority of automotive paints. Most professionals prefer a high-vis tape over others that don’t stand out because the vibrant color helps you to see whether or not you have achieved the correct paint coverage.
