Over the long term, masking tape hardens and cements to the surface. Very nasty to try to remove. It is not for long-term use.

i believe all tape does some version of this eventually. i wasn't thinking it would be left on permanently, but possibly on the order of months before being replaced. in any case, something like scotch delicate surface tape[0] was what i had in mind when posting my prior comment.
