PURPOSE: To make it possible to apply a desired coating to an unmasked area of a vehicle or other contour surfaces by masking a protected area of the vehicle by the use of an edging means and a masking soln. CONSTITUTION: At least one part of the surroundings of a first area 10 is surrounded by a thin flexible barrier strip 20 having an adhesive property against the masking soln. specified below, thereby separating the certain area 10. A material, which is a water-soluble masking soln. 22 and is constituted by containing a mixture of a water-soluble aliphatic polyhydroxy liq. carrier, a water-soluble thickener and water, is applied to at least one part of a second area 12 adjacent to the barrier strip 20. The barrier strip 20 is pressed against the masking soln., thereby producing a guarding edge 20E. Next, the coating is applied to the first area 10 as far as the guarding edge 20E. After this coating is dried, the edging means 20 is removed. |
