What happens here

Before spraying, meticulous preparation is crucial to protect the room. Begin by masking off any ceiling fixtures such as vents and light fixtures. These can either be removed by unscrewing them or carefully masked with tape. Next, cover all furniture, beds, and other items using 9x400 plastic sheeting. This type of plastic is preferred over heavy drop cloths for covering furniture as it's lighter and less likely to cause damage. Drop cloths should be reserved for floor protection only.

Goal: Protect the room from paint spray.
