Zusammenfassung:A masking strip 210 for masking the interior surfaces of a gap between two substrates to be painted comprises a backing 212 having a first 216 and second surface 218, the first surface having an adhesive region 220 to fix the masking strip to an interior surface of the gap, a gap filler 214 extending from the backing and adapted to prevent paint flow into the gap, wherein the first surface of the backing is also provided with a spacing means 224 adapted to space the backing of the masking strip away from the interior surface of the gap (see figure 12). Ideally, the spacing means on the masking backing is a spacer, the spacer allowing a smooth paint application near the masking strip edge to be achieved. The backing, gap filler and spacer are preferably made of foam. The backing and spacer may be integral. Preferably the masking tape is used between a vehicle body and a door.
