Our Masks

Our masks are manufactured from 0.003" (0.08mm) thin translucent vinyl masking material which does not mark or lift the underlying paint due to it's low tack adhesive backing. The thin flexible masking material adheres easily to sharp curves and has a slight "stretch" to enable it to conform to surface irregularities. The translucency of the masking material assists in the accurate positioning of the mask.

To ensure the highest quality and accuracy the masks are cut on professional grade high quality computer controlled cutter/plotters capable of cutting to an accuracy of 0.0004" (0.01mm).
