Zusammenfassung:A masking strip for masking the interior surfaces of a gap 1 between a first 2 and a second substrate 3 to be painted comprises a backing 17 having a first and second surface, and a gap filler 20 extending from the backing and adapted to prevent the flow of paint into the gap, wherein the backing is formed from, or attached to, a fibre-containing material that acts to suck / wick paint away from the interior surface of the gap to which the masking strip is attached. The backing of the masking strip may be made of paper, tissue woven or non-woven material, or natural, cellulose or synthetic fibres which absorb / suck up paint. The masking strip paper backing may have a spacer 23 associated with it, which preferably also comprises fibre / paper. The gap filler 20 is preferably made of foam. This masking strip is ideally used between a car door 3 and body 2 during spray painting.
