Let\u2019s discover some tricks for a professional, flawless job. <\/em><\/strong><\/p><p>Door jambs and bonnet gaps are often some of the most neglected parts when <strong>preparing a car for painting<\/strong>. Masking them with regular masking tape, in fact, is a time consuming activity that requires patience and the use of great quantities of product. And still, the result is not granted: sometimes the paint filters through the edges and leaves unpleasant stains inside the groove.<\/p><p>Fortunately, <strong>there is a solution for a clean, thorough and quick job<\/strong>: you can employ <strong>foam masking tape<\/strong>, a product engineered specifically for the masking of <strong>door jambs<\/strong> and <strong>all the other gaps<\/strong> that occur on the surface of a car. The application of foam tape is fast and easy, you just have to follow some simple steps:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b727855 elementor-icon-list--layout-traditional elementor-list-item-link-full_width elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon-list\" data-id=\"b727855\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon-list.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<ul class=\"elementor-icon-list-items\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fa fa-circle\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\"><strong>Clean the surface:<\/strong> as usual when applying a masking tape, make sure to clean the jambs and the gaps before using foam tape in them. The adhesion power of the tape works properly on <strong>dry, smooth surfaces,<\/strong> so you should remove all the grease and dust from them before using the product.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fa fa-circle\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\"><strong>You can now proceed with the application of foam masking tape:<\/strong> unwind the tape and trim it to the desired length. Just stick it along the groove, making sure to <strong>follow thoroughly the gap<\/strong>. You should apply the adhesive side <strong>entirely<\/strong> on the surface, to be certain not to leave sticking parts exposed.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fa fa-circle\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\">Then, close the door or the bonnet and <strong>take a look at the result:<\/strong> foam masking tape perfectly fills the apertures, leaving no space for the paint to overspray.<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<li class=\"elementor-icon-list-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"fa fa-circle\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-icon-list-text\"><strong>In case the tape sticks out too much from the jamb,<\/strong> you can simply <strong>level it<\/strong> using a filler spreader.
