Pertinent Data: Here's how it works: the bags come perforated and on a roll. You just take one off, cover the car and secure it at the bottom with a "unique draw tape feature" that eliminates time-consuming taping operations. Then you cut out the section of the bag that corresponds to the damaged area and re-paint that area only. The bag is designed to withstand the hellish temperatures of a paint-curing oven without losing its integrity (up to 330[degrees]F, in fact). Cost savings that can be achieved with the bag include reductions in both paint and masking tape use.
