<p>A method is described of painting a vehicle having adjacent body panels (2, 3) with a gap therebetween in such a way as to prevent overspray from entering the gap. The method comprises adhering one edge of a foamed plastics strip (4) to the vehicle in the region of the gap, forming a loop (8) longitudinally of the strip so that the loop lies within the gap substantially parallel therewith and applying a paint spray to the panel or panels, whereby the looped strip prevents paint from entering the gap. Also described is a foamed strip for use in spray painting of vehicles which comprises a web of foamed plastics material having adhesive applied to opposite faces of the strip, the adhesive being confined to an area (5, 6) close to an edge of the strip.</p> |
