Body shop painted over vinyl stone guards

Any place that has an extra body prep feature is not a place to take seriously. The OP knows this now, so I put my comment in here for those who may not. Even if they hadn’t painted over it there may have been damage done. I guess I know why masking tape is made of paper. Now I’m wondering if there are any masking tapes made from plastic. There must be; it is 2012.
