What happens here

Next, the base of the garage walls is masked using 9-inch paper and 1.5-inch tape (FrogTape). This provides a protective barrier along the floor line. Larger, stationary items within the garage that cannot be moved are covered with 9x400 plastic sheeting. The floor itself is not covered with drop cloths because it is scheduled for grinding and epoxy application after the painting is complete. A wooden support beam is quickly wrapped with 9-inch paper and plastic to protect it. For a specific metal bar that will be painted, the presenter plans to use a cardboard shield to spray it with a smaller 208 tip, as rolling it could lead to drips due to its many holes.

Goal: Protect surfaces and objects from overspray

as the walls being sprayed but we obviously don't want you know the rail right here that the garage door runs on sprayed he didn't want that to be sprayed or painted at all like using one inch tape on my masker and then to tack down we're using inch and a half tape around the the floor just ran inch and a half taper on the floor and then we're tacking paper to that and we're going to use cardboard shields along with our paper so it is winter time here in boise which poses a few challenges when it comes to painting a garage because the garages typically are not heated this garage is not heated but it's fairly warm inside we did bring some heaters with us and we're heating the garage up so i'm masking this hardware off we're going to be spraying around it so i'm going to mask it up just like this i don't want any over spray falling on top of this but i'm going to hand actually hand cut around this hardware so i don't want to worry about masking it perfectly but i'll spray around it as close as i comfortably can get around it without getting over spray on it so our tape of choice this is frogtape's production tape this is their production grade tape it's what we like to use for doing all of our production stuff sticks better than any production tape i've ever used i'm dropping paper over the top this is the top of the garage door we don't want anything you'll leak in out the other side there's brand new garage doors so i'm going to be spraying across here and not going to get any overspray over the top just dropping some paper over the top of these rails too as we're spraying the ceilings we don't want any overspray falling we're masking right along it's going to take us about another 30 minutes to get the masking done there's only a few things in this garage that we got to cover with plastic one of the nice things about this garage we don't have to cover all the floors with drop gloss because they're going to be grinding this floor and doing an epoxy so the floors already got the drywallers came in here did a lot of taping and texturing didn't cover anything and there's tape and texture mud all over the floor but we're not gonna have to worry about any um dust or fallout and stuff because the floors are gonna be ground and then epoxied after we're done the stem walls going around we're gonna be putting on an agency stain on those stem walls to match the epoxy there's no reason to run an expensive proxy up on those walls but the customer wants it to match the…
