5 HOUR Garage Makeover. Painting a Garage Part 1

What happens here

The masking process begins with the garage door components. The presenter uses a paper dispenser with FrogTape Orange Production Tape to efficiently cover the overhead metal tracks and springs. This selective masking ensures that certain hardware, which the customer wants to remain unpainted, is protected from overspray. Other metal components, like the suspension system for the garage door, are explicitly left unmasked as they are to be painted to match the walls. The same method is then applied to the vertical side rails and associated brackets.

Goal: Protect specific garage door components from paint

Tools and materials

  • FrogTape Orange Production Tape FrogTape — Securing masking paper and creating clean lines
  • Ladder Werner — Reaching high areas for masking
  • Masking Paper — Covering and protecting surfaces from overspray
  • Paper Dispenser — Applying masking paper and tape simultaneously for efficiency

all right so here it is the garage we've already started the masking process as we go we're going to give you some tips and tricks masking and spraying is always going to be significantly faster where there are some things we're just going to hand cut around with a um four inch roller and a three inch brush because it's a little bit faster to cut around some of the metal work on the garage hinges and springs customer wanted the metal work coming down that suspends the garage door open sprayed the same color as the rest of the garage the metal work those small things will just be sprayed with the 208 tip i'm going to give you some tips and tricks spraying i'm going to be using a 5 17 hea tip from titan so high efficiency airless tip it's going to give nice good feathered edges this is an ideal job where you'd want to use a high efficiency airless tip and aj tip from titan so stay tuned for that we're going to be giving you some tips and tricks so let's get on with the masking to show you what's going on here [Music] foreign [Music] all right so i'm masking right along here uh the overhead springs the garage door and stuff and this kind of an area we're gonna spray around a lot of this it's a lot easier to spray around some of it but when it comes to the hardware right here that's mounted the customer wants you know the hardware to not be painted so it's a little bit easier i'm masking just to keep any overspray off you know if i get a little bit careless with this sprayer but typically i'm going to spray around this stuff and stay away from it and then we're going to hand cut it in but for the most part where the entire garage will be you'll spray there'll be just a few little things when it comes to your hand cutting in with a four inch roller and a brush and that's typically around these brackets and hardware just would take a lot longer to mask around that and try to mask this off versus just cutting it in with a brush and a roller but even though i'm cutting it in i'm still just going to throw some masking along the edge and not be very particular about it but just to protect the door and hardware [Applause] crayon with a titan 840 sprayer gonna be using a heat tip which is a low pressure tip it's going to run around 800 to 1000 psi it's a really good um time to use something like that we've got a lot of space we don't want any hard edges we want nice feathered edges spraying in here don't want to use a lot of pressure treat a lot of dust and overspray…
