Why is painters tape blue?
Painters' tape isn't always blue, sometimes it's green, depending on the manufacturer. However, painters' tape is made in color to differentiate it from regular masking tape. This makes it easier to identify in both the retail store and the toolbox. Masking tape has more and more aggressive adhesive on it, when it is removed from painted surfaces it can and often does, leave an adhesive residue behind or remove some of the top coat of the paint. Painter's tape is designed to be easily removed with the least amount of damage/cleanup. This is not to say you can leave painters' tape on a surface indefinitely and have it come off with no difficulties.

Will paint or primer stick to painters tape?
Yes, it will but I don't know long it will last. So if you painted over it and just want to leave it, you shouldn't. Painter's tape isn't meant to last, humidity etc. will loosen the light adhesive it is made with.
How do you paint without using painters tape?
Depends on the medium. Here's how I've done it in the past: Tape the entire surface with what ever tape you're using (painter's tape worked well for me) then use a cutting tool (exacto knife) to cut out your design (might try drawing out the design first, or transfer it onto the tape). Then, proceed to airbrush, spray paint, etc, your design onto your medium. Caution! My medium was hard metal and the exacto knife did not scratch the surface. Somebody probably could elaborate on a more practical method, but there's an idea. Please note that this is only a single-layer method and if replicated for a second layer you risk the chance of pulling off the paint with additional tape.
