Paint mask

In a paint mask comprised of a first mask layer having a contact type of adhesive coating on one surface only and no adhesive whatsoever on the opposite surface thereof and a second liner layer of a type readily releasable from said adhesive coating and being releasably secured to said first layer by said adhesive coating and wherein said mask further includes a predetermined design configuration in said first and second layers with said design configuration and the remainder of said mask being selectively severable from each other, a plurality of band-like areas in said second layer defined by cuts through said second layer only and being selectively removable from said second layer and from said adhesive for exposing corresponding bands of adhesive on said first layer, said adhesive bands adapted to permit said mask to be adhesively secured to a work surface with the liner layer side of said adhesive coating in the areas of said adhesive bands engaging the work surface.

In a paint mask comprised of a first mask layer having an adhesive coating on one surface thereof and a second liner layer adhesively secured to said first layer by said adhesive coating and wherein said mask further includes a predetermined design configuration in said first and second layers with said design configuration and the remainder of said mask being selectively severable from each other, the improvement comprising:

• said design configuration being defined by discontinuous cuts extending through both said first and second layers, a plurality of band-like areas in said second layer defined between said discontinuous cuts and score cuts extending through said second layer, said band-like areas being selectively removable from said second layer for exposing corresponding bands of adhesive on said first layer, said adhesive bands adapted to permit said mask to be adhesively secured to a work surface.

A paint mask comprising:

• a first mask layer having a contact type of adhesive coating on one surface only thereof, a second liner layer of a type readily peelable from said adhesive coating and being releasably adhesively secured thereto on the opposite side thereof from said mask layer, discontinuous cuts through both said layers defining the same predetermined removable design configuration in both said layers, and other cuts in said second liner layer only, said other cuts defining removable portions of said second liner layer which are separable from said adhesive and from the remainder of said second liner layer for exposing an area of said adhesive coating for securing said mask to a work surface with said exposed area of said adhesive coating.
