The degree and extent of the surrounding masking depends whether partial, total or localized spot paint work repairs are to be carried out.
If for example partial painting of the front right fender (wing) is necessary, then the entire vehicle should be masked to avoid splashes and paint fog on
the surrounding paint work.
Localized spot repairs on the other hand are carried out in such a way that it is often sufficient to mask off just the area to be repaired, in order to avoid
splashes and paint fog on the surrounding paint work.
Border masking tape
A border masking tape for paint work repairs is used in addition to the traditional masking tape. The masking tape is supplied in 50 meter (5x10 meter)
packs, which can be ordered using part number 1 161 418-7.
Areas of use:
-
door openings
-
engine hood (bonnet)
-
trunk (boot)
-
smaller areas (e.g. partially painted doors)
-
sunroof openings
The masking tape gives a softer transition at seams when partially painting bodywork. Other parts which are not to be painted are masked in the
traditional manner.
