cut some paper to cover the bed and then tape down the perimeter of the paper. after that put tape across the paper untill there is no paper showing. It worked for me.

You could try some of the liquid mask that is available.
I would go with the liquid mask, since its inexpensive, and lasts long time!

Get a hold of some thin pinstriping tape. All body shops use at and you should be able to find it at most autoparts stores. Use this to mask off the tricky areas, then overlape with regular painters making tape. Make sure you use painters masking tape.

If you go with liquid mask, I would HIGHLY recommend you get a 32oz jug of Bob Dively's. I've tested all the liquid masks and it's by far the best. Parma's breaks apart and only comes in small bottles enough for one body. Hobbico is good, but for the cost of 4 Hobbico bottles, you can get 1 Bob Divelys and the Bob Dively's will do about 20 + bodies
