This is my latest dumb question as I continue to pretend I'm getting close enough to spraying paint to justify buying supplies. Any thoughts on using masking paper vs. masking plastic? Looks like masking plastic might be cheaper. On Youtube, Donnie Smith says both work well, but paper is a little easier for beginners to work with. Thought?

Just used plastic for the first time and liked it,much easier to place before taping as it clings to the body,saves on tape too.
I used a roll with 1.2 metre drop found it to be the ideal ,easy enough to cut if needs be. |

Still use paper though in certain situations. |
