Paint Masking Tip
This tech tip involves a masking technique when re-painting a section of
you car.  Before taping the masking paper to the car, fold over about
4mm of the edge of tape closest to the repair area onto itself, (so that
edge doesn't stick to the surface).  When you actually spray the area to
be repaired, the overspray will get underneath the fold and cause paint
to feather onto the original paint.  This makes it easier to sand the
new paint into the old.
