The use of our masking paper for specific applications give the best results when employed following a precise procedure.
Before applying any masking product, what you need to do is to clean carefully every surface of the car body, degrease it and make sure it is free from dust. Any kind of dirt could compromise the adhesion of both masking products, fillers, primers and paints, leading to outcomes that could make you waste hours of work and tons of expensive products.
Once the vehicle is properly cleaned, you can start applying any masking product you need to use. Masking paper is a non-sticky product, so we suggest you to use it together with one of our automotive masking tapes.
When masking your car around edges, first stick the masking tape under the edge so that the tape protrudes for half of its width, with the adhesive side looking outward. Then, tape the border of the paper in the same way and match it with the tape on the car, performing what is called tape on tape. With this technique, the automotive masking paper will hold strongly.
For all other masking situations, you can simply use the tape on masking paper to stick it to the desired surface and make sure to press the tape with fingers to enhance its adhesive hold.
