fender cover out of moving pad

[Jerry]

I know that one of you guys had a fender cover made for their car which covered both fenders at the same time. Did you post the size? I have bought a packing blanket and wish to make a copy. It has sounded like a good idea since I first saw it.

November 2009 in the Healey Marque there is an article by John Sims with pictures. 80 X 72 My wife just got me one from Amazon but there is one in the Harbor freight (10 bucks). U-Haul now sells things that look like regular blankets only a little thicker. My wife hasn't told me yet that she will hem it. She just rolled her eyes and said I found the darn thing for you, you want me to hem it too?
Thanks, John, the timing is good cause I will be getting the car back from painting end of Feb and I would not want to mess up the new finish.

I've seen furniture blankets sold at OSH. Home Depot may even have them, though they didn't show up on their website.

Thanks group. The blankets are pretty cheap at Harbor Freight.

Well TH ifin you do not want to mess up the finish then do not put anything close to it other than clear water for the next six months. Particularly now in the winter time when out gassing from the undercoats will be slow.---Fwiw Keoke

I guess you could call that the smell of new paint...
