Masking the vehicle (EN)
Applying paper and tape to a vehicle to protect it from overspray may seem basic, but a poor masking job can adversely affect the quality of the paint job and increase the need for rework.
The masking products are applied to the vehicle to protect areas from the paint that will be applied. The area to be painted should never be contacted or overlapped by the tape or paper as this will lead to edge lifting of the new coat of paint. A painter must always use good judgment when masking because a poor job in masking the vehicle will lead to a poor-quality finish.
TIPS:
- Always mask the driver's door separately so that it can be opened if the vehicle must be moved.
- Mask with unmasking in mind. If you mask in such a way that unmasking is like unraveling a thread, you’ll not only save time unmasking but also because there won’t be a thousand pieces of tape and paper on the floor to pick up.
