It can be used on matte, semi gloss or gloss paints and all types of varnish. Sticky enough to prevent airbrushing problems but it does not alterate the base coat. Very good and easy tu use tape.

One of the best modeling tapes I have ever used. It is perfect for plastic parts. especially when painting in different tones. Paint leak is virtually nonexistent.

Not sure I can add anything that hasn't already been said. Test on scrap that has been painted with the paint you are wanting to mask first to see if it lifts the paint during unmasking. The only paint I have had it lift has been Dullcote over Model Master acrylic clear and Aqua Gloss. Reduce tack by sticking to t-shirt first.
