<p>Figures 1 and 2 illustrate two flexible sheets (1 and 2) for use in a spot paint repair on the metallic surface (3) of an automobile body panel (4). The two sheets (1, 2) form part of a set of three sheets. Each sheet of the set possesses magnetic properties. It is wholly magnetic and is of rubberised isotropic material. The outer surface of each sheet has a non-stick coating of PVC (polyvinyl chloride) or other material that allows any paint adhering thereto to be wiped away. Each sheet of the set is of rectangular outline. Sheet (1) defines a relatively small circular aperture (5) disposed at the centre of the sheet. Sheet (2) defines a central aperture (6) of larger diameter. The other sheet of the set defines an even larger diameter aperture. To effect the spot repair, flexible sheet (1) is placed in position so that it magnetically adheres to the metallic surface (3) and so that the aperture (5) encloses the area to be painted. Suitable paint is then sprayed through the aperture (5) onto the metallic surface (3), the aperture acting as a window and the rest of the sheet as a mask. If feathering is required, flexible sheet (1) is removed and replaced by flexible sheet (2), so that its central aperture (6) covers the area previously painted. Feathering then takes place, using the aperture (6). The set may also be used for applying pre-paint abrasive and post-paint polishing material to the metallic surface (3).</p> |
