This specialized material is designed for shielding specific areas of a vehicle’s surface during the painting process. It typically comes in rolls of varying widths and is applied to surfaces not intended to receive paint, such as windows, trim, and rubber seals. The purpose is to create crisp, clean paint lines and prevent overspray.
Utilizing this protective covering is critical for achieving professional-looking results in automotive refinishing. It minimizes rework and saves time by preventing paint from adhering to unwanted surfaces. Historically, newspapers and other readily available materials were used; however, purpose-made options offer superior performance due to their resistance to paint bleed-through and their ability to be easily applied and removed without leaving residue.
