How to Tape a Car for Painting

Hi, I'm Doug, I work with 20 great guys in Saint Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods and we are going to do some work for you on Expert Village. Okay now we are going to hang some more of the skirt. This is the interior of the car that is masked off. You can see it is quiet a lot of effort go into all of this to keep everything clean and keep the paint out of places where you don't want it. So there is one side of the car with the skirt built out of paper hanging down. Now he is going to mask down the front of the car really tightly. You don't paint blowing on things that you don't want to up a quality paint on it. You don't want dirt from those areas blowing out you know the under side of the car is not going to be near as clean as what he has ready to paint here. So he has the duct tape hanging down from the inside of the wheel and he is pushing the masked edge with the masking tape there against the duct tape there. He tapes off to the wheel, he tapes another layer there.
