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?

I generally use thick mill plastic for windows and medium mill or thin plastic for covering body panels (shooting a fender only) or a trunk.
I typically use it for taping up my makeshift paint booth as well. Paper is just to short for most uses IMO. |
