We always use 3M "233" GREEN TAPE. It was designed for auto body paint systems. The BLUE painters tape will come apart when removing it, making it very hard to remove all at once.
We also double tape around windows and trim, so that we can remove the paper masking and renew it after base coat. We don't have to be so meticulous on the re-taping around the glass or trim when we re-paper. The dirty paper catches a lot of dirt and over spray that can end up in your clear coat, so we re-paper before the clear coat or two tone paint jobs.
3M makes two types of fine line. The green is for straight lines, and the blue is for curves.
