Masking
Car Painting Preparation, Masking Paper, and Plastic Sheeting
When preparing your vehicle for painting, there are a variety of products available that can help ensure that the paint only goes where you want it to go. Masking paper is flexible and used for masking off automotive surfaces where protection from paint overspray and bleed-through is needed. However, for hard-to-mask areas like engine bays and wheels, liquid masking solutions are great where masking paper might be more difficult to use. Booth coating can also help protect the inside of your paint booth, and paper floor mats can minimize the risk of transferring paint inside the vehicle. For masking or covering larger areas, plastic sheeting can be faster and more material-efficient than using masking paper. The paintable high-density polyethylene plastic sheeting resists paint bleed-through and overspray like masking paper, but may be more ideal for masking a vehicle with several larger windows. If you are preparing to paint a vehicle, our parts professionals are available to help you find the masking supplies needed for any paint project.
Protect Car Paint with Paint Protection Film
If you've recently painted your vehicle or want to protect your vehicle's appearance, paint protection film can help preserve your vehicle's finish and maintain its like-new condition. This clear-coated urethane film can help guard your vehicle's paint against rock chips, road debris, abrasions, or other potential minor damage. It's also great for defense against bird droppings, door dings, and paint fading from oxidation, ultraviolet rays, and weather exposure. At O'Reilly Auto Parts, we carry rolls and strips of permanent film for a long-lasting barrier, and removable paint protection film for a temporary boost in paint and body protection.
