What happens here
Once the accent paint has dried sufficiently (it should be dry to the touch, but not fully cured to avoid paint lifting), the painter carefully begins to peel off the yellow painter's tape. They start by pulling down vertical strips and then proceed to the horizontal strips, pulling the tape slowly at a low, 45-degree angle. This technique helps maintain clean lines and prevents the freshly dried paint from tearing or lifting off the wall.
Goal: Uncover the clean and crisp checkerboard pattern.
