Masking
Automotive masking is used to prevent paint, primer, or clear coat from getting onto unwanted parts of the vehicle. It is an important step for professional-looking paint repair. Masking paper is flexible and used for masking off automotive surfaces. To properly mask a car body for painting, follow these steps:
- Prepare the surface for masking: Ensure the areas to mask are smooth, clean, dry, and free from dust.
- Apply masking tape under the edges around the masking area.
- Use masking paper or film to cover nearby areas.
- Use specific products for high precision applications.
- It is important to use approved automotive tape and paper to avoid leaking through.
