Abstract
A paint mask apparatus in which portions that were difficult to paint conventionally can easily be painted by constructing the apparatus main body so as to be tiltable. A paint mask apparatus main body having a receiving jig for mounting a work on a base and a mask main body which covers the work mounted on the receiving jig is constructed so as to be tiltable around a horizontal axis. Spray painting is then carried out with the paint mask apparatus main body into which the work has been set tilted around the horizontal axis such that the areas to be painted of the work are pointed in a predetermined direction that makes it easy to apply paint. The paint mask apparatus enables paint to easily be applied to portions that were difficult to paint in the past, as well as a plurality of different places.
