Mask the Upper Boundary

What happens here

The first step involves meticulously preparing the upper boundary of the area to be painted. Start by applying green painter's tape (like ScotchBlue Painter's Tape) along the top edge of the wainscoting or trim, ensuring a straight and crisp line. Then, unroll and attach brown masking paper to this tape, securing it further with additional pieces of tape to fully cover and protect the upper wall section from any potential paint overspray. The tape and paper should be firmly pressed down to prevent paint bleeding underneath.

Goal: Protect the upper wall from overspray.
