Cover Handrails for Paint Protection

What happens here

For handrails, especially those leading up stairs where ceilings might be sprayed, use a hand masker with 9-inch masking paper and 1-inch painter's tape. If concerned about paint lifting from finished surfaces, opt for a low-tack tape like FrogTape. Apply the masking paper along the entire length of the handrail, securing the tape edge along the wall or the handrail itself. The paper will drape over the handrail, providing a barrier against paint or dust, and can be easily removed by pulling it down when painting is complete.

Goal: This step demonstrates a quick method to cover handrails using masking paper and painter's tape to prevent overspray when painting nearby walls or ceilings.
