Masking Paper for Overspray Prevention
Have you ever wondered how car manufacturers and auto repair
workshops perfectly paint a vehicle?
One of the common issues that spoil the look of a car is overspray,
which is when paint is accidentally sprayed over areas it's not intended for.
When you see overspray in a car, it is safe to assume that an amateur has
painted the car.
If you have never painted a car before, you may find it difficult
to avoid overspray. However, it is not very difficult to prevent this,
especially when you use masking paper or masking plastic.
Masking paper is, quite simply, paper that can be stuck to
different parts of the car where you do not want to apply paint. You stick it
to the surface using masking tape, and then you can spray paint evenly across
the surface of the car, including the part where you have stuck the masking
paper. After the paint dries, simply remove the masking paper. You will find
that the metal surface underneath is untouched by paint.
Masking paper can prove to be quite useful when you want to apply
multiple coats to your car. A particular amount of masking paper is required in
every paint job, irrespective of the number of color coatings. The windshield,
wipers, and wiper drains, and side and rear windows are areas that should
always be covered by masking paper when the car is being painted. Other areas
include the tires, headlights, and taillights.
The effectiveness of masking paper depends on a number of factors
including size. Masking paper is generally available in various sizes, and you
need to choose the size based on the
part of the car you are covering.
Windshields, for instance, require a larger paper than headlights.
Another important factor is the type of adhesion. The masking paper should
stick strongly enough to prevent the paint from bleeding, which can result in
uneven edges.
