More expensive masking tape is usually a bit more strechy than the regular stuff making it better for body work

also you want to make sure you take it off as soon as your paint is dry.. some cheaper stuff sets like glue if left for too long or it gets wet etc

very overpriced imo, its like £3.50 a roll.

I use Wurth Yellow tape and for 5 x 2" rolls its about £4.

If you are wanting to mask out the top part to leave teaxtured i would reccomend a fine line tape to get it more accurate and personally i pull it off when its wet.
