I just used a 3M mask (paint maksk) safety specs too although a pain to see with they really are needed. Other than that just a pair of overalls. Any of the rest on your hair or what ever is curable by having a good bath lol
Just don't go lying around the living room afterwards or you'll certainly be in for the chop! Whistle
I masked off the whole exhaust or removal is another option. Masked the props and also the handbrake drum. masked the lower seals each side and steps. Fuel pipes (both return and filler) and fuel filter lower assembly. Removed the fuel filter guard for ease of access and done that separate to the LR on it's own. In my case you may not have one but also masked my steering guard and lower painted edge at the front.
And finally to keep any over spray off the brake discs (I painted the stone shields) I carefully put in paper all the way around between the disc and the shield to keep it from getting on the discs. Yes, you could take the wheel off and put a bag over it but the effort and safety side put me off of that.
Last thing was a bit of tape along any gaps in the rear body to rear crossmember again to prevent possible overspray. Which absolutely would have happened.
I just have the internal wax to do but that's relatively easy and won't require any masking.
Ideally you want two brand new rolls of tape for a 90 and maybe more for a 110 you'd be surprised how much you use.
Oh and I masked off the mud flaps too. ____\We|Will|Win/___

So basically you're saying there is lots of masking Laughing

Right, better start reading the Times for the next few weeks, seems like I'd need the newspaper.

Steve, masking off the mud flaps is not good enough, that's just a short cut, you have to take them off so that the outriggers are properly covered everywhere with Dinitrol. Like below... Thumbs Up
