Title: Tool for applying masking tape to moldings

Abstract: A tool for applying masking tape to automotive body moldings is formed about a frame having a tape reel support at one end and a tape applying roller at the other end. The tape applying roller has a resilient cylindrical surface with a thin steel flange at its outer edge. Two handle sections are attached to the frame allowing it to be grasped in two hands. The flange is inserted between an edge of the molding and the supporting body section to pull the edge slightly away from the body and guide the tool along the molding and the resilient roller section presses the tape over the exposed molding edge.
