1. A tape assembly for masking an object to be coated, comprising:
a tape body defined by an anterior side, a posterior side, a body first edge, and an opposing body second edge, wherein the tape body comprises:
a first portion that extends along the body first edge and comprises a first substrate having a first adhesive layer on a posterior side of the first substrate;
a second portion extending along a proximal edge of the first portion, opposite the body first edge, and comprising a second substrate having a second adhesive layer on an anterior side of the second substrate, wherein the proximal edge of the first portion partially overlaps the second portion to form a first overlapping region, and
a third portion extending along the body second edge and adjacent to the second portion, the third portion comprising a third substrate having a third adhesive layer on a posterior side of the third substrate, wherein a proximal edge of the third portion, opposite the body second edge, partially overlaps the second portion to form a second overlapping region,
wherein the first overlapping region is spaced from the second overlapping region such that at least a portion of the second adhesive layer is exposed between the first and second overlapping regions,
wherein each of the first adhesive layer and the third adhesive layer is removable and has a peel adhesion to stainless steel of from about 1.8 N/cm to about 6 N/cm,
wherein the second adhesive layer has a peel adhesion to stainless steel of from about 3 N/cm to about 5 N/cm, and
wherein each of the first, second and third adhesive layers has an adhesive coating weight from about 15 to 35 g/m2.
