Car Builders Masking Kit, Pre Taped Film with Cutter

$15

Product features

Quick answer: Paint mist drifts onto glass, trim and the panels next to a repair, and taping up sheets of paper by hand takes ages. This kit rolls out 1.8m high by 30m long pre taped masking film from a dispenser and cuts it to length. The photos show it with a roll of masking tape for edges. The film has a coating that paint grips, paint does not bleed through, and it resists high temperatures.

Why use a masking kit?

  • Overspray landing on glass, trim and the next panel. Static film covers what you are not painting and keeps off overspray and dust.
  • Masking a big area on your own. The tape is already fixed to the film, so you can position it alone and cut to length.
  • Dried paint flaking off the masking. Paint adheres to the coated surface of the film.

How the kit goes on

Position the pre taped edge, let the static film fall over the area and cut it off with the cutter on the dispenser. Use loose tape for edges, gaps and anything the film edge cannot reach.

What you get

  • 1 x Car Builders masking film dispenser with pre taped film and cutter

The Car Builders photo also shows a roll of masking tape. Ask our team to confirm it is in the kit.

What size is the film?

The film is 1.8m high and 30m long, and it unfolds to its full 1.8m height. Measure a big job against that length before deciding on a second kit.

Jobs it suits

Car panel repairs and painting at home. It suits any masking job rather than one vehicle.

How to mask up with the kit

Difficulty: Easy.

  1. Wipe the surface where the tape lands so it is clean and dry.
  2. Stick the pre taped edge along your masking line.
  3. Unroll along the panel and cut with the built in cutter.
  4. Open the film out over the glass, trim or panels being protected.
  5. Seal edges and gaps with masking tape.
  6. See the video below for the method.

Mistakes to avoid when masking

  • Leaving the edges open. The film has a pre taped edge, and the photos show a roll of masking tape for sealing the gaps around it.
  • Tearing the film by hand when the dispenser has its own cutter.

FAQ

Is the tape already attached to the film?

Yes, the film is pre taped.

Why does paint stay on the masking film instead of flaking?

The film has a special coating that paint adheres to, so it does not bleed through.

Is the masking kit only for car work?

No. Car Builders list it for architectural work as well.

Does the dispenser cut the film?

Yes, it has a built in cutter.
