Painting Question
 

I want to spray paint a surface, but not inside holes in the surface. Some of the holes are threaded. Some are odd shapes. I thought about tape, but that would leave some of the surface I want to paint, unpainted. Any suggestions?

Foam earplugs work great.

Stuff some tissue paper into the holes.

Rubber stoppers for all the round holes, just like at the powder coat store. Odd shaped holes . . . ?

Just insert a bolt or screw in the hole. Ive also used tapered rubber plugs.

I think foam is the answer. Thanks! Three great answers in two minutes!

Wait!!! Who's answer was the $hitty one?

Apparently I miscounted. Or am being passive-aggressive. No, I miscounted....but I do hate one of the answers........

;)

Sorry, Chris, I tried so hard.

For bigger holes (3/4" or so) wine bottle corks work well. Used 'em for lug nut holes when finishing wheels.

Dipso?
