Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for creating and applying a plurality of masking sections to portions of a vehicle to mask the same during painting of other and adjacent portions of the vehicle. Each of the plurality of individual sections being constructed of a plasticized material having a specified shape and thickness and including a backing surface. The backing surface is adherently applied to a specified location of the vehicle and in order to mask a surface of the vehicle at that location and during such as applying a single or two-tone coat of paint.

Abstract: A material for masking an article which is to be painted includes a sheet of paint impervious masking material and a layer of adhesive. The layer of adhesive is disposed upon at least a portion of a side of the sheet of masking material. A pattern of perforations is defined through the sheet of masking material. A cut passes through the sheet of masking material and intersects the pattern of perforations.

Abstract: A motor vehicle or other large object of manufacture can be selectably masked for painting, sanding or other finishing processes by disposing the article within a large polymeric bag having a drawstring closure. The bag is closed about at least a portion of the vehicle, and an opening is formed in the bag by selectably tearing away a portion of the bag to provide access to a section of the article to be treated. Portions of the opening thus formed can be taped to the vehicle. When the process is completed, the bag can be torn away from the vehicle. In some instances, the bag includes selectably weakened portions, such as perforated portions, which facilitate tearing of the bag. Also disclosed are specific bag structures.
