How to control overspray! #howto #tipsandtricks #handyman #DIY #painter

What happens here

With the masking paper properly folded, creased, and secured around the entire window trim, you are now ready to spray the trim with a paint sprayer. As you spray, any overspray that goes beyond the trim will hit the upward-angled paper flap. This flap will guide the overspray outwards, preventing it from running down or settling onto the already painted walls. This method is ideal for maintaining clean walls when only the trim needs painting or touch-ups.

Goal: Proceed with spraying the window trim; the secured, folded paper flap will direct overspray away from the wall, preventing runs and damage.

Now when you're spraying this trim right here, this would be all around the entire window. I'd be spraying here and this flap right here is going to cause the overspray to come out and to kick out and it won't run down the wall. This is a simple method. If you've already painted your walls and you missed this window or for instance, for some reason you've had to spray this window later on after the walls are done and you don't get overspray on your walls. Very simple, handy tip.
