You can purchase them at a painting supply store or online, but they’re usually made of cloth since all they’re supposed to do is catch overspray.

Here’s a set of canvas one’s at Eastwood. $25.99 for a set of 4.

That was a fine report! I'd "heard" that covers that go all the way to the ground trap moisture under the vehicle. The damp environment leads to more corrosion. Like I said, just something that I'd "heard".
