Why Use Paint Masks

Paint masks provide superior results compared to masking tape through precision-cut edges matching exact canopy frames, self-adhesive backing that conforms to complex curves, elimination of paint bleed under mask edges, time savings compared to hand-cutting tape, and consistent results across multiple builds.

Application Tips for Best Results

Maximize mask performance by ensuring surfaces are clean and dry before application, applying masks to fully cured paint, pressing edges firmly to prevent paint seepage, removing masks while paint is still slightly tacky, and storing unused masks in their original packaging to maintain adhesive quality.
