Abstract: The paint mask comprises a first layer having an adhesive disposed on one surface thereof and a second layer removably affixed to the adhesive. A first die-cut penetrates the first layer and the adhesive layer, but not the second layer, for defining a predetermined design configuration. A second die-cut penetrates the second layer, but not the first layer and the adhesive, defining a preselected area of the second layer which is removable to expose a corresponding area of the adhesive for allowing the predetermined design configuration to be adhesively secured to a work surface to define the predetermined design configuration on the work surface.
