Abstract
A motor vehicle or other large object of manufacture can be selectably masked for painting, sanding or other finishing processes by disposing the article within a large polymeric bag having a drawstring closure. The bag is closed about at least a portion of the vehicle, and an opening is formed in the bag by selectably tearing away a portion of the bag to provide access to a section of the article to be treated. Portions of the opening thus formed can be taped to the vehicle. When the process is completed, the bag can be torn away from the vehicle. In some instances, the bag includes selectably weakened portions, such as perforated portions, which facilitate tearing of the bag. Also disclosed are specific bag structures.
