Abstract
A paint mask apparatus capable of accommodating different types of parts to be painted by constructing a mask body and a receiving jig so as to both be detachable with respect to the apparatus main body. A paint mask apparatus has a receiving jig for mounting a part to be painted supported by a jig base provided on an outer base, and a mask supporting frame with an integrated mask body of a predetermined shape which covers at least the peripheral edge portion of an area to be painted of a part to be painted attached to the outer base so as to be able to swing up and down such that the mask body can both cover and uncover the receiving jig from above. By constructing the mask body so as to be detachable from the mask supporting frame and constructing the receiving jig so as to be detachable from the jig base and only replacing the mask body and the receiving jig, the paint mask apparatus can be used for painting a different type of part to be painted without replacing the base and the jig base.
