I started this topic to try to help anyone who is having trouble getting clean paint jobs. Call me old school, but I’ve proven to myself that I can get a cleaner paint job with masking paper as a buffer between the panel to be refinished and my masking plastic. I know the new trend is to plastic right up to the panel because the new masking plastics are designed to “catch” paint. I tried that method for a while to try to cut down on masking materials. That plastic catches some paint yeah, but I think the way that it catches it also attracts dirt. So with a buffer zone of at least 12 inches of masking paper, in the exact same booth conditions, I get beautifully clean paint jobs damn near everytime. There are numerous other factors that I could go on about that I do that I think contribute to clean paint jobs, but this plays a big part. I use anti-static wipe lastly, on the panel and the paper, then I tack the panel and the paper. Anyone have any input? I’d like to hear what you guys think. Or maybe questions that everybody can discuss to help people get cleaner paint jobs. Because eliminating wet sanding and buffing from the repair process means quicker turn around times, which means higher productivity, which means more $$$$$$$$ :stoned
