COVERCRAFT FRONT END MASK
APPLICATION GUIDE
For maximum protection you can't beat a full front mask. They
cover the bumper area (some truck models do not cover the bumper, to allow for
installation of lights, grille guards, etc.) and the leading portion of the hood
area. We usually screen radiator openings because we feel it's important to
protect the maximum front area possible. We have done plenty of testing
over the years to confirm that the screen does not increase the engine
temperature. There are some applications that just won't allow the use of
screening, but not many. Some applications, like Firebirds and some
Corvette models, have the hood opening so far back that a hood piece isn't
required. These unique patterns are noted in our application guide.
- Protective Air Intake Screens
An integral part of the mask, not separate, and they are sewn into the
outside of the mask so there are no loose pieces of material inside to
abrade the paint surface
- Covered Aluminum Tabs
Allow adjustment at the fender wells as vinyl expands and contracts due
to temperature. Take a look at a non-adjustable mask being driven down the
road and you'll see why this is an important feature
- Reinforced Air Foils
Prevent flapping and lift. Very few patterns don't require this feature;
there is just too much air whipping around the front of your vehicle as it
goes down the road, like cross-winds and back drafts from passing semi
trucks
- Micro-Perforated Finish
Allows the mask to "breathe" and permits moisture vapor to
evaporate when the vehicle is driven in wet weather. Still, if a mask
becomes wet and is going to be left sitting in the sun, we recommend it be
removed to allow the backing to dry properly.
- Soft, Protective Backing
We use white non-woven fleece so you can easily see when it's time to
clean the back-side of the mask
- Overlapped Seams
Finished with a strong, durable top stitch. Edges are covered with soft,
non-abrasive felt-rimmed bindings
