Abstract
To improve the complicated painting process of large three-dimensionally shaped components, preferably aircraft components, the masking step is automated. This is achieved by printing a masking medium onto the component with an inkjet method, the masking medium forming a masking film. The masking film masks the desired surface area and can be pulled off following the end of the painting. Preferably, spray films, functional printing inks or mold release agents are used as the masking medium.
