For example, protective paints such as polyvinyl chloride sol and tar urethane are applied to the underside of automobile floors to provide anti-rust, sound and vibration-proof treatment. When applying such protective paint, in order to prevent the protective paint from adhering to the inside and periphery of holes such as water drain holes, cable holes, screw holes, and component through holes that exist under the floor of automobiles, for example. , the hole is protected with a masking material. Further, in order to prevent the protective paint from adhering to the parts where members such as brackets are attached, bosses, etc., it is necessary to protect these parts with a masking material.

上記自動車の床裏塗装にあたっては使用されるマスキン
