its USC premium polycoat masking paper. Ive never seen stuff this expensive used as floormats, ha. Its real good masking paper, super smooth on the outside, slick and doesnt attract garbage and dust like crappy green paper alot of shops use.


Im not sure what you mean by "alot" of the ones getting sprayed...in this entire thread there is only 3. and those can be explained below

If insurance doesnt pay to have the headlights taken out, they dont come out, or if the customer is trying to save money on labor time and we can comfortably tape the headlight up without sacrificing prep quality well do it like..(like on a 350z, or an infinity..Its like an hour per headlight to take out as you have to take a ton of stuff off to get the headlight out), or like on the black truck. The customer specifically stated not to take the headlights out as they were brand new and he just put them in and had everything aligned properly, that was fine with us cause there is about a 1/4 inch gap around the headlight beetween any painted part so there was plenty of room for tape off and proper prep of the painting surface. The cadillac sedan was insurance that did not pay to have the headlight taken out as there was sufficient room for tape and prep. The infinity was a labor price thing for a cash customer.

On any custom job like the ones on the first page, or most insurance jobs they come out unless requested.

Im wondering if your seeing the normal backtape and mask that we do when taking out a headlight, even if the headlight is out, most of the time on a front end we will back tape the area where the headlight is and tightly mask it with paper to make sure no dust comes flying out during the paint process, so it looks like a headlight is there, but its not.
