Abstract: Masking material of particular value to vehicular surface coating operations consists of a thin, flexible base sheet having opposing first and second longitudinal edges which define a width. A pressure-sensitive adhesive layer is applied longitudinally along at least the first edge on the inner surface of the sheet with a width substantially less than that of the base sheet, the base sheet further including a longitudinal area on its outer surface and along the first edge which functions as a release layer, enabling the base sheet with adhesive layer to be provided in roll form and easily removed therefrom for use.

Abstract: A paint mask for a three-dimensional insignia plate upon a vehicle body comprises an integral molded thin hollow part of plastic material having a three-dimensional shape corresponding to the insignia plate. The portion of the hollow part defines an opening to receive the insignia plate. A plurality of spaced flexible anchor flanges extend radially inward to underlie and retainingly engage the insignia plate. A paint or other mask protects the insignia plate or other part from paint or other material sprayed on a body adjacent the molded insignia plate.
