00:00:00.299 --> 00:00:02.261
Hey, I'm Steve Smith with Camper Van

00:00:02.261 --> 00:00:04.949
Freedom. I used this Warner plastic spray

00:00:04.949 --> 00:00:06.955
shield to keep bedliner and paint off

00:00:06.955 --> 00:00:08.961
areas I did not want to spray.

00:00:09.088 --> 00:00:10.574
It worked well. Its role was a

00:00:10.574 --> 00:00:12.580
movable barrier at a local edge,

00:00:12.664 --> 00:00:14.840
alongside the wider masking used around the

00:00:14.840 --> 00:00:16.910
van. The shield has a broad plastic

00:00:16.931 --> 00:00:18.695
panel and a pivoting handle.

00:00:18.836 --> 00:00:20.585
The panel provides the working edge,

00:00:20.585 --> 00:00:22.420
and the handle lets that barrier be

00:00:22.420 --> 00:00:24.895
positioned beside the area being sprayed.

00:00:25.065 --> 00:00:26.879
Those two parts make its purpose easier

00:00:26.985 --> 00:00:29.151
to understand than the product name alone.

00:00:29.224 --> 00:00:31.229
Spraying involves a coating area and the

00:00:31.229 --> 00:00:34.003
surrounding surfaces. A handheld shield puts a

00:00:34.003 --> 00:00:36.286
movable panel beside a local boundary.

00:00:36.435 --> 00:00:38.846
Fixed masking uses tape and covering film

00:00:38.867 --> 00:00:40.133
that stay on the surface.

00:00:40.332 --> 00:00:42.210
They change how the covering is positioned

00:00:42.210 --> 00:00:43.640
as the work progresses.

00:00:43.831 --> 00:00:45.986
During my van's exterior coating project,

00:00:46.007 --> 00:00:48.354
I taped paint boundaries and covered broad

00:00:48.354 --> 00:00:50.940
areas with plastic. The photographs show that

00:00:50.940 --> 00:00:53.287
larger masking layout around the bodywork.

00:00:53.457 --> 00:00:55.334
The Warner shield was another painting tool

00:00:55.334 --> 00:00:57.382
in that setup, and my direct experience

00:00:57.382 --> 00:00:59.004
was that it kept paint and bedliner

00:00:59.004 --> 00:01:00.808
off the areas I was protecting.

00:01:00.989 --> 00:01:03.315
The useful comparison is a movable edge

00:01:03.335 --> 00:01:04.915
against a fixed covering.

00:01:05.085 --> 00:01:06.643
The shield can move with the work,

00:01:06.663 --> 00:01:08.711
while a taped sheet remains attached over

00:01:08.711 --> 00:01:10.911
a wider area. Looking at both jobs

00:01:10.911 --> 00:01:13.066
explains why a shield and masking plastic

00:01:13.172 --> 00:01:15.285
can belong in the same painting kit.

00:01:15.391 --> 00:01:17.717
My full page compares the Hyde ProShield,

00:01:17.738 --> 00:01:19.531
another handheld plastic shield,

00:01:19.573 --> 00:01:22.501
with MyLifeUNIT tape-and-drape masking film.

00:01:22.613 --> 00:01:24.405
The film combines a taped edge and

00:01:24.405 --> 00:01:27.520
folded covering material. Those alternatives illustrate the

00:01:27.520 --> 00:01:29.781
two covering approaches; this review of what

00:01:29.781 --> 00:01:31.744
I used is about the Warner shield.

00:01:31.872 --> 00:01:33.905
Thanks for watching. I'm Steve Smith with

00:01:33.905 --> 00:01:36.294
Camper Van Freedom. The Warner spray shield

00:01:36.294 --> 00:01:38.556
worked well for keeping paint and bedliner

00:01:38.556 --> 00:01:40.703
off unwanted areas during my build.

00:01:40.843 --> 00:01:42.251

alternatives. See you on the next project.
