taping up a car is relatively simple. Just use logic...tape up what you don't want painted. I work at a paint store, so I recommend 3M Green Masking Tape...you can just use 3/4" for what you're taping up. But, some 2" might not be a bad idea. Just outline what you don't wanted painted with 3/4" tape first, then put paper over the areas, leaving the edges of the paper on top of the outlining tape, but leave some of the outlining tape viewable. Then, when you have the paper situated, throw some tape over the paper's edges onto the outlining tape. I know this sounds confusing, but it's the best way to do it without having to worry about overspray. And if you do get some overspray, just get some Thinner and rub out the overspray...just don't touch the fresh paint with it.


If you lived in NC near me, I'd help you do it.
