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 tape the car first. then I'll take regular packing paper and put a strip of tape on the end. Then stick down to the tape line on the car. CSOB style.
